Well we had an Election at school on Tuesday, I was quite impressed how quickly me teaching partner and I got it together and set up! Thanks to Scholastic for the great Election Freebies! I was able to put up a bulletin board in no time:
Here is the ballot box a.k.a. a tissue box covered with paper, nice job Cindy! The kids voted by writing the candidate on a piece of paper. We counted the votes out loud and made tally marks on the board. The winner was Mr. Obama...did we predict that or what?!LOL We did have one write in too, someone didn't quite understand the directions, oh well.
And Scholastic even sent me this book that I read with the students. I really like the book. It gave simple qualities that a president has but they are the same qualities as a child in the book. Every two pages is another quality. After we read the book , we came up with a chart of presidential qualities. We then wrote about it yesterday in paragraph form and some students did a really nice job.Unfortunately I can't seem to turn it!? Sorry.
Here is the polling place. They are the old soon to be forgotten lockers in the hallway. We are getting a major facelift this year on the building and we don't use the lockers so they are history!
Did you hold an election at your school? It was fun!
On another note, I posted a
Thanksgiving Mega Pack on TPT for only $3. I am going to use it that short week of Thanksgiving but it would be good to use all of November.
