Election Day Mini-Enrichment Day

I am so blessed to have a class that gets pumped up about everything we learn! This day was no different... Maybe even more excitement than usual! We reserved all of Election Day to learn about it! We started off by learning about fun and serious jobs the president has. We compared them and decided which ones we would like as president! Our "craftivity" is based on the idea from Cara Carroll, but with a fun twist to go along with our discussions.

Then we read 3 books and educated ourselves on each candidate (bc that's what good voters do!). We read "My Teacher for President," "Grace for President," and "Duck for President." We even helped each candidate campaign--bumper stickers for the teacher, buttons for Grace and Duck taught us about the mayor, governor and president! We even discussed women's history when it comes to voting and the president. We listed all the great qualities of each candidate and each student got to cast a ballot, as long as they had their "Voter Registration Card." Turns out... Grace won our vote! With Duck at a close second. This day was truly amazing!
