As I'm sure everyone is aware, it's election day! In 4th Grade, we have been studying the issues in this year's campaigns, and the candidates running for president. We learned that voting is a serious responsibility. We knew we needed to learn what the candidates had to say for themselves. We went to the Time For Kids site to learn about the issues and meet the candidates.
All that learning helped us be ready for the vote today. When we got to school this morning, the voting booths were already set up in our 4th Grade hallway. There were two student proctors who were managing the voting machines and passing out "I Voted" stickers.
We were surprised to find that our ballots including some questions we were not expecting (e.g. "Should Ms. Willden be retained as a 4th-Grade teacher at Plymouth.") We waited in the lines at the voting station, and we cast our vote. But, we won't know the results until the polls close this afternoon...
Who is nervous?
