Having a set of rules and laws is pretty important! It tells our country, states, schools, and other organizations how to work. It also tells us the rights that all citizens have, and the values our country upholds. Let’s learn about the history of the United States Constitution.

Let’s explore one of the most foundational historical documents in American History. It is perhaps one of the most famous documents of the birth of the United States, and holds some of the most famous statements about freedom and equality in our nation’s history: “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.”

Climate Change: Do you know the difference between weather and climate? Weather is one specific event. Climate is average weather recorded over a long period of time, 30 years or more! Today will examine how scientists have observed that Earth’s surface is warming and how that’s affecting plant and animal life. Journal a summary of the video with at least 4 main ideas.
