Happy Election Day!

 Today our three candidates, Third Little Pig, Cinderella, and Peter Pan, participated in a mock debate.  Mrs. Terry was the moderator!  Each candidate did a wonderful job discussing the issues of national security, education, and the economy.  Students learned about the election process in the last few weeks.  The class was divided into three groups.  Each group had to create their own political party, create party platforms, and campaign strategies.  The three political parties were named the Peterpublicans, the Republicrats, and the Greek God Party.  We learned about the real life election in a way that kids can relate to and with candidates that they know a lot about....Cinderella, Peter Pan, and Third Pig!  Thanks to Brooklyn, Abe, and Jack for representing their parties well!
 This is the audience at the mock debate.  They may look sweet and innocent, but they were passionate about their candidates!  There was lots of cheering going on!!
 This is a shot of our three candidates before the mock debate got started. 
After the debate, we placed our votes.  Cinderella won by a landslide!!  The class really liked her vision for America.

Happy Election Day!  I hope everyone had a chance to vote!
