Election

Our class has been talking about the national election coming up on Tuesday! I mentioned who the two presidential candidates are but have spent most time discussing elections and voting. We have talked about who can vote (U.S citizens over age 18- though many of the students told me that they feel ready to vote now ;), how we vote, where we vote, why we vote, and what the terms "vote," "candidate," and "election" mean. Every classroom teacher at UMS has been reading the books Grace for President and Duck for President which are very cute stories that help children understand more about voting and elections. Next week students will decide who they think would be a better president, Duck, or Grace. During library class students will cast their vote and we will see who the students of UMS choose. Will it be Grace or Duck? Ask your child next week what the results of our election were! Below is a photo of the two books.
