When it came time for fifth-graders at David Lubin Elementary School in Sacramento to learn about the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and U.S. history, their teachers had an idea.

Resident teacher Betsy Ronsheimer, learning of this, thought it would be a good opportunity to bring this part of history into the classroom in a very personal way.
