THS Constitution Week
During Constitution Week Timpson High School English, world geography, government, economics, American history and business teachers joined forces to make the United States Constitution understandable, meaningful and relevant to today‘s young adults. Teachers Ms. Dawson, Ms. Hammett, Mr. Calhoon, Mr. Rucker and Mrs. Tippett had students complete cross curriculum activities that require students to use skills learned in many subject areas. Learning activities completed by students included:
- Analyze and memorize the preamble to the constitution
- Research and write an essay “What America Means to Me”
- Play Constitution Trivia game
- Write an expository essay on “Were the Framers of the Constitution an adequate representation of the American People?” or “Did the Constitution adequately remedy issues with the Article of Confederation?”
- Design and create campaign buttons
- Make pocket size copy of the Constitution
- Create a Bill of Rights notebook
- Teachers helped students who had turned 18 register to vote
The students’ work is displayed in the high school hall. We will be publishing some of the essays students wrote in future Bear Updates.
TES Kindergarten at Poultry Festival
For the 20th year in a row Timpson Elementary School kindergarten class will lead the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag t the 40th annual East Texas Poultry Festival Thursday October 5 during the opening ceremony under the Big Tent on the Center historic square at 10:00 a.m. This is an event the kindergarten class has the privilege to participate in and have been invited back to each year. Not only does it give these five year olds the opportunity to show respect for the American flag and the country it represents, but it also gives them the opportunity to speak in front of a crowd and enjoy the festivities of the poultry festival that has become a fall tradition for Shelby County.
