This past week (and the future couple of weeks), we will be continuing to research, discuss, and apply the Bill of Rights to our daily lives. Every day, we discuss different real-world situations and try to figure out what, if any, violation occurred and the amendment it is associated with.
One item of interest is that the students this weekend (and next week), are asked to play a game. The game is called Do I Have a Right and it is an interactive game in which students are presented with situations, have to decipher the legality of those situations, and decide if someone has a legal argument to make in their case. Feel free to look at the game and compete against your child to see who has a right.
This topic is fundamental to sustaining our democracy and empowering our students as citizens of the world. Most Americans cannot even list the 5 freedoms protected in our 1st amendment. I hope every parent engages in conversation with their students about the bill of rights.
