Together We Can

Hey, Constitution...we want to know, what is the meaning of the Constitution of the U.S.? Listen as the Constitution answers questions about what this document means for our country, while sharing some important amendments along the way.

Do your part! We’re all responsible for making our community better and can help by volunteering in the garden, donating school supplies or assisting our teachers in the classroom.

What state are you from? Shout it out and sing along to the other states in the U.S. No matter which state you’re from, each is great and makes up an important part of our country.

A group of friends demonstrate how to lead and be an upstander! Whether it's in class, at lunch or in the hallway, you can use your voice to speak up when things aren’t fair and be an upstander.

The rules and the law are there for us all! You may have rules at home like brushing your teeth before bed, but laws are put in place by the government and must be followed, like obeying traffic signs or buckling your seatbelt.

Listen! Respect others by learning to listen even when they don’t share your point of view. By hearing someone out and waiting for your turn to talk, you demonstrate respect and the qualities of being a good friend.

Work together! By collaborating to share our ideas and cooperating to see those ideas through, we get the job done! Kids collaborate on a plan to build a playhouse, and cooperate by working together to finish the project.

Vote! Use your voice and have a choice by voting on what you’d like to see or do at home, at school or in your community. If your vote doesn’t win, that’s okay! Be proud of having used your voice.

Follow the rules! Rules are created to keep things safe and fair, and when we follow the rules, we participate respectfully as members of our communities.

Say “thank you” to community helpers like firefighters, dentists, sanitation workers, librarians and more by learning how they help to make our communities better.

Look around! What symbols of democracy do you see in the U.S.? Whether it’s the flag, a bald eagle or the White House, there are symbols all over the country.

Equality vs equity! What does that mean? Listen and learn about how these words make things fair and help everyone get what they need.

Be a leader! Leaders earn our respect and trust by treating others with kindness. From community leaders like the principal of a school to government leaders like the mayor of a city, good leaders look out for their community.

It begins with YOU! Learn how to participate at home by helping keep things clean, at school by raising your hand in class or taking turns and at recess and in your community by treating your space and the people around you with kindness.

We’re all still on Native land. Learn about the indigenous people who inhabited the U.S. first and how we can come together today to take care of the land.

Holidays in the United States share and honor the history of our country and our traditions that keep us connected. From The Fourth of July, Labor Day, to M.L.K. Day – we remember the important days in our country and honor them.

Hand-in-hand! Learn about how the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches of the U.S. government work together to keep our country running smoothly and fairly.

Vote! As an adult in the United States, it’s important to use your voice and vote on Election Day. Every vote is important and our voices matter.

It’s okay to have different ideas! Two hip-hop dancers and two jazz dancers disagree, but learn to listen to each other and disagree respectfully.

Celebrate! From lighting candles to feasting with family, explore traditions across different cultures and learn how people come together to celebrate their heritage through holidays.
