This week we did a mini-unit on elections and voting. Vocabulary we learned: ballot, ballot box, candidates, registration card. We learned about different requirements that candidates have to meet to be eligible for presidency and had a mock election between: Grace, Duck and Ms. Gegg. We read about Duck and Grace and discussed characteristics of all 3 candidates and charted them. We discussed how voting is private and who you vote for is your own privacy. The ballot box was set up in our writing center with a privacy divider and they had thier registration cards dated and signed, voted and then recovered their "I voted" badge. We tallied our votes and analyzed our data in math to graph our results. We had a fun week in social studies and I was relieved that I won and they think I'm cool enough to be president :).
