Next week on July 4th, we will celebrate the 235th birthday of our country. What a great excuse to learn more about our Constitution with your children and help them win some great prizes. In their second year, the website Constituting America (www.constitutingamerica.org) is holding a very special contest called their “We the People 9-17”…
