Students had a blast learning and celebrating President's Day this week!
They really enjoyed listening to "Grace for President", "Duck for President" and "My Teacher for President." I highly recommend these books for entertainment as well as educational purposes. Each book highlights an important issue such as the election process. I read each book twice throughout the week and then on Friday we held an election. Students had to fill out a ballot of who they believed would be the best president; Grace, Duck or Teacher. It was a great hands-on experience for the children. They had to fill out a voter registration card, vote using a ballot, place ballot in a ballot box and then tally and graph the results.
Students also created crafts such as a George Washington mask, George Washington timeline mobile and a "Vote for ME" poster.
