Happy Constitution Day!

In case you didn't know, this has been Constitution Day. In 1786 on this day, our constitution was signed. We talked about it today in school and I found out that the kids couldn't give me a definition of the word 'freedom'. One boy said "It's like when you go bungee jumping." That was the closest definition I got. So we had a good talk about it. Then all the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders went outside and surrounded the flagpole and they took down our old raggy flag and put up a beautiful new one. The kids were almost reverent about it and we all said the pledge together and it was really cool. They were impressed with it all. I'd never go bungee jumping, but I'M THANKFUL FOR MY FREEDOMS!!!! As third graders would say, "AMERICA ROCKS!"
