Our election is over! The children voted on Monday for their new (mythical) class mayor. They were to choose between Candidate 1: Silly Sally. Platform: Fun and Games OR Candidate 2) Fair Frank. Platform: Balance of learning, structure and fun. The children approached the classroom voting booth one at a time with their voter's registration card in hand. They filled out a secret ballot, and dropped it into the ballot box. They proudly wore an "I VOTED!" button for the rest of the day! Once all of the votes were in, we tallied up the results. 5 children voted for Silly Sally. 9 voted for Fair Frank! Great choice, class! I think the children demonstrated a wonderful understanding of the voting process during our mock election. We quickly had Fair Frank (Luca) raise his right hand and promise to do a good job in his new position, making fair decisions for all. Our inauguration (the final stage- was complete! We will be sure to keep an eye out for our President's inauguration, which is coming up on January 20.
