Does anyone have any great elementary activities they use for Constitution Day? While it might initially seem like a holiday that doesn’t need much celebration, now more than ever, students need to understand what the Constitution does and how it affects their daily lives. I’d love to hear what engaging, age-appropriate ideas you’ve tried in your classrooms!

We host a STEAM night each year at our school and are always looking for large scale activities that families can engage in together. Have you been successful with any activities that you would recommend?

During my dissertation work, I used a age appropriate mock crime scene to help my kinder students investigate some fairy tale crimes (Who stole the Little Red Hen’s loaf of bread), and am looking for other immersive experiences outside of mock crime scenes and escape rooms. Any other suggestions?

How do you start off science in your classroom? Do you have an introductory lesson you can share?
I like to use the children's book titled, "What is Science?" as it shows children that science can be lots of things and that they are already scientists!
