September has been designated by the Utah State Legislature as American Founders Month in HB 179. All public schools are asked to do something to honor the American Founding Fathers and the Constitution. September 17 is designated by Congress as Constitution Day.
Elementary Teachers have access to resources that fit their social studies standards. All 5th and 6th grade students will receive a “Why I Love America” pamphlet that teachers can use as a resource. One of the lessons on the resource page for 5th and 6th grade teachers is a lesson specifically about the pamphlet.
Secondary social studies also have lessons and activities that they can do during the month. The resources for American Founders Month can be found on the district website.
