And the winner is...

Celebrating President's Day all Week!!!
 
This week in First Grade, we studied all about Presidents.  We read many books on past Presidents, and learned how a President leads our country. 
During the week, we also read three stories about characters who wanted to be President.


We created anchor charts based on the characters and what happened in each book:


Then, the students were able to experience what it feels like to vote...

We created "Voter Regristration Cards"
And used these cards to cast our ballot for who we think would make the best President.  The students were able to vote for either Duck, Grace or Teacher!!!

Example of the ballot:
Casting our VOTES!!!

"Verifying" our identity...Thanks for the help Mrs. Galanio!!!






After we voted, we designed our "I Voted" sticker:


 




AND THE WINNER IS....TEACHER!!! (Maybe one day...LOL)!!!!

We had such a fun and exciting week, and the students really enjoyed getting to vote...ask your child who they voted for!!!!
