WE SIGNED THE CONSTITUTION!


WE SIGNED THE CONSTITUTION!

In honor of Constitution and Citizenship Day, the students of Milpitas Adult School studied the Constitution, decorated our classrooms, and signed the Constitution. We even had cake--YUM!  Special thanks to the ESL1 students who decorated the hall and hosted the morning signing of the Constitution, and the Citizenship students who hosted the evening signing.

Students received a pictorial representation of the articles and amendments of the Constitution--most of the class photos were taken in front of the large version of the pictorial Constitution. The students also received the USCIS 100Qs, the "Wallet Interview", a USA map, and CA fact sheet. You can download the handouts at USCitizenPod.com. Study up, and become a US Citizen!
