Writing a Class Constitution
SIGSBEE SCOOP 2016-2017
Week 6:  September 19- September 23
RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, RESILIENCE

 CONSTITUTION DAY
"We hold these truths to be self-evident...."

Friday was Constitution Day with all Sigsbee Sailfish spending time learning about the supreme law of our nation. Age-appropriate lessons were found across the school. Kindergarteners talked about being a citizen of a country. They made some awesome American flags and patriotic hats. Many classes read the book, We The Kids, by David Catrow, and created their own books or interpretations of the Preamble of the Constitution . Older classes created a Class Constitution to honor their rights as members of a school community.
Next week, we celebrate Freedom week with additional lessons that include an in-depth study of the intent, meaning, and importance of the Declaration of Independence. To emphasize the importance of this week, at the beginning of each school day or in homeroom, we will conduct an oral recitation by students of the following words of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Kindergarteners celebrating America!
Interpreting the Preamble...

This leaves teachers thinking about former students and wondering how they are doing, where they have landed and what paths they have taken.   This week, it was our distinct pleasure to host the retirement ceremony of a former Sigsbee kindergarten student, Commander Greg Wilson.  Mr. Wilson was a student of Sig...
