Election Day!

Today we participated in our own mock elections.  Just like many of you, we went to the polls and cast our vote for our favorite presidential candidate.  It was very exciting!

We waited in line to vote.

 After showing our lunch tickets for identification, we got our ballots.

 

When it was our turn, we went to the voting booth.

 



Zac, Ellie and Jordan vote for their favorite presidential candidate.

 

 

 After marking their votes, Parks and Scarlett put their ballots in the box.

 

 

Shelby gets to wear her sticker so everyone knows that she voted!

 

At the end of the day, the results were read and at AEEC, the winner was Barack Obama.

 

 

Happy Halloween!

Why celebrate Halloween on only one day when you can celebrate all week long?  In our class we started the celebration by reading some of our favorite chants and stories.  We even put Halloween books in the Listening Center and Big Book Center.  The real fun came on Halloween day when we did rotations throughout Orange Pod.  There was a different activity in each classroom for the children to do.  They made scarecrow glyphs, sorted and graphed fall candies, listened to great stories, drew pumpkin pictures, made spider cookies and played candy corn bingo!  Everyone had a great time!
