Election Day
Last week we talked a lot about what an election was, what
people would be doing today, and some of the words they might hear. We read books and
used our Scholastic “Let’s Find Out” to help us learn about the election. The
children were so interested in all of this and were excited to participate
in the Kindergarten election yesterday…
First, the children met the candidates, “It’s the
Bear” and “The Napping House”. We all gathered in the library to hear the
stories. Next, each child visited the polling site closest to their
classroom to cast their ballot. They waited in line, went into the booth,
and of course, got their very own “I Voted” sticker. Finally, the results came in;
some of the teachers demanded a recount but “It’s the Bear” won by a
landslide! We can’t wait to celebrate with a picnic on Wednesday. Don’t forget
to send a towel and a teddy bear for your child.
