Joy Christian School - United States Documents

Jun. 5, 2009 - United States Documents

The law of the LORD is perfect, riviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Psalm 19:7-11

God's law is wonderful and perfect. We feel blessed to live in a country where scripture is the basis for it's laws. We studied the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights spring of 2009. Below are some of the materials we used.

The United States Constitution Lapbook Unit

The Declaration of Independence - Notebook pages with & without writing prompts, lapbook mini with options, quiz, list of books, and websites for research.

American Documents - mini books and pocket for a lapbook, compare & contrast graph.

Constitution Unit Covers - two choices to use for lapbook or notebook cover

Constitution Lesson Plans & Resource Guide - directions & answers to the mini books; list of links, books, videos, and more to use in your study

Constitution Bible Notebook Page & Vocabulary Game / Flashcards

Preamble - poster, notebook pages, and two puzzle games of the preamble.

Constitution Outline & Notebook Pages - Guided outline for taking notes - 3 notebook pages to use for notes or copywork (blank, elementary & regular lined pages)

Bill of Rights & Amendments - 3 notebook pages for taking notes on the 27 amendments

Constitution Timeline - chart to be used for study, a game, or a quiz

Constitution Lapbook Pieces (Mini Books for the lapbook)

Please feel free to use these materials with your students. I hope they will help someone.

This is beautiful - so well thought out! I'm amazed when I find a fellow homeschool Mom who not only puts something like this together for her own kids, but also takes the time to share it with others! What a blessing. Thanks so very much!

Thanks so much for this resource! Now, more than ever before, I think it is extremely important to show our children what was intended and what they need to know about our history and founding documents. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! We are stopping our regular lessons to do a unit about the constitution!

This is an awesome collection of materials! There is a typo on one of the mini books, though. Inauguration is mispelled (it is spelled inaugeration). I would love to use the mini books with my kids for Constitution Day (Sept. 17), but I don't want to use that one until it can be corrected. Thanks!
