Here is a song to help remember the Preamble that we watched in class.

Homework this week

This week is considered Freedom Week and we will be celebrating it all week. Today we discussed the preamble and the students copied it into their notebook because on Friday, they will recite it for a grade. They were supposed to take their notebooks home in order to begin studying all week. Below I have attached a copy of the preamble so you can help your student memorize it for Friday.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
