Mock Election!

On Election Day, our school held a mock election. In preparation for our mock election, we decided to have our own election in our classroom. We learned about the importance of voting and also learned a little about each candidate for President. Then, we took a vote. Each student was able to choose the candidate that they wanted to vote for and then complete the ballot for our school mock election.

Draylan volunteered to count up our votes. Our class winner was......

... Barak Obama!

Each student received a sticker for voting. Draylan decided to make a fashion statement with his! :-)

Mrs. Daphne (one of Newton County's Instructional Coaches) came by to visit our room. She had just voted. Therefore, she was able to show us a real election sticker. Draylan's fashion statement rubbed off on her too!

At lunch, we placed our mock election ballots in the boxes provided. 

At the end of the day, all of the ballots were counted. Barak Obama was also named the winner for our school mock election!
