Election Talk

To keep our children well informed citizens of the United States, the first grade class held their very own presidential election. The children were given identification cards that they filled out with me and "registered" to vote. We discussed that they each had a CHOICE to vote for whomever they felt was the best candidate. We also made a list of what qualities that make a good president. The children then had a choice to vote, they showed me their ID cards and went to a private booth to fill out their ballot.
Each first grader made the CHOICE to vote and received "I voted" stickers that they were very proud of.
