September Days for Inspiration & Citizenship

Two great days for education are coming up soon in September. 
#DotDay #MakeYourMark ~  #ConstitutionDay

     > Dot Day on September 15th: The Dot Club has a wonderful site with resources and an Educator's Handbook for free download. Look around and explore the site! http://www.thedotclub.org/dotday/get-inspired/making-a-mark

     > Constitution Day on September 17th: Constitution Day became a national observance in 2004, when Senator Robert Byrd passed a bill designating September 17 as the day for citizens to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution and learn more about our founding document.  The Constitution Center site has an outstanding collection of resources for educating our students about The Constitution and the importance of being good citizens. Resources are divided into elementary, middle, and high school sections. 

Fun Fact: At the age of 81, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania was the oldest delegate at the Constitutional Convention and at the age of 26, Jonathon Dayton of New Jersey was the youngest.

Follow your treasure map where ever it may lead!
