Election, Freebies, Giveaways, and SALE!!!

Hi everyone! So my head. is. SPINNING!  Is this time of year B U S Y for you all too??  Between Halloween, report cards (due Nov. 2) and conferences (Nov. 5 and 7)... I feel like a chicken with its head cut off (OK who even thought of that icky phrase anyway...)!! Ugh.

 

Anyway... I am SO excited about our Election progress!!  If you are keeping track, we have already learned our Vocabulary (to see click here).

Now I have introduced our candidates!!

I am reading books about our candidates so we can learn more about them:

 

 

While I am reading some facts about the animals, the children are writing the facts on a sheet that I created.  It looks like this:

 

 

 

one of the student's paper

 

We talked about how important it is to learn about the candidates so that we have enough information to make a good decision.  Later we will use these facts to write our persuasive papers to "campaign" for a particular candidate!  If you want a copy of the facts sheets you see above... {click here}

 

Next week we will finish learning about the other 3 candidates, write our persuasive papers, create signs, and "debate" about their chosen candidate.  By Nov. 6th we will elect our second grade animal representative!!
