Background Information From the TEKS Introduction found at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter113/ch113a.html#113.12 (7) Students must demonstrate learning performance related to any federal and state mandates regarding classroom instruction. Although Grade 1 is not required to participate in Celebrate Freedom Week, according to the TEC, §29.907, primary grades lay the foundation for subsequent learning. As a result, Grade 1 Texas essential knowledge and skills include standards related to this patriotic observance. During this Celebrate Freedom lesson, students review how rules in our families and schools establish order, provide security, and manage conflict. Students begin to relate the concept of rules in our families and schools to rules for the country, which are laid out in the Constitution. By using the words of the Preamble: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution

We encourage states to add unique civic observances to the list we provide. We restrict our list to observances linked to federal holidays, or to other aspects of national commemoration.

CONSTITUTION DAY AND CITIZENSHIP DAY, CONSTITUTION WEEK, 2014 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Eleven years after a small band of patriots declared the independence of our new Nation, our Framers set out to refine the promise of liberty and codify the principles of our Republic. Though the topics were contentious and the debate fierce, the delegates' shared ideals and commitment to a more perfect Union yielded compromise. Signed on September 17, 1787, our Constitution enshrined -- in parchment and in the heart of our young country -- the foundation of justice, equality, dignity, and fairness, and became the cornerstone of the world's oldest constitutional democracy. For more than two centuries, our founding charter has guided our progress and defined us as a people.
