Class Election

In Social Studies, we have been learning about how to vote.  To make our learning more hands-on we held a class election to find a class president.  Then that president got to make a decision for all of us.  To begin we made election posters.  Here are our election posters.  They turned out awesome!  These "firsties" are so creative!

Rufus, David, & Maxwell

Lance, Hannah, Elijah, & Emily

Ryland, Alex, Victoria, & Xavier

Lynli & Mary-Caroline

Lew, Jackson, Ella, & Jillian

Trevor, Elias, Benjamin, Aubrey, & Taylor

Everyone presented their posters to the class and gave an election speech.  I must say, they all had great reasons why they would be a great class president.  Then we setup our voting booths to turn our room into the poll.  Each child took a ballot and voted for who they thought should be our new class president.

Meet Mr. PRESIDENT!

Trevor won by a landslide!  I guess the gumball machine worked like a charm.  Everyone enjoyed a gumball from our new class president.  He then got several choices as he made a big decision for the rest of the class.  He got to choose from: a trip to the treat box for everyone, free learning stations, or extra recess.  As he chose extra recess, the class cheered!
