Hampton Congressional Hearing

Hampton Elementary fourth grade students recently participated in a simulated congressional hearing. Students learned about the founding of our country and the framing of the Constitution. Each student became an expert on a specific aspect of the Constitution, and was asked to "testify" at a Simulated Congressional Hearing in front of community members acting as judges.
