Writing Letters to President Obama!

During our "Government" unit, we learned about our United States President, President Barak Obama. Then, we wrote letters to him!

Our final products turned out really good. Some students added pictures to complete the sentences and some students wrote the entire letter. Of course we added pictures of ourselves too!

We can't wait to see if we get a letter back from the White House!

Class President Election!

After learning about the United States government and our president, we were so excited to practice the voting process and elect our own "Class President". Each student was given the responsibility of creating their compaign to encourage their classmates to vote for them. They each did this at home as an ongoing homework assignment!



Ava's campaign was very clever. She gave out smarties and dum dum lollipops. Her campaign speech was "Don't be a sucker. Be a smartie. Vote for me"! No one said we couldn't bribe our friends with candy. Ha! Ha!

Once everyone gave their campaign speech, we all used a ballot system to vote for the person we thought would best respresent our class as our "Class President"!

Our "Class President" was elected. And the winner was............... Dontavious Morrow!! Dontavious was awarded a beautiful pin and several other goodies!

I can't think of anyone who would best represent our class as "Class President". It was nice to see that our students felt the same way. Congratulations Dontavious!

Ava received the second greatest amount of votes. Therefore, she was elected as "Vice President". Yay Ava!

That's a great bunch of candidates!

Special Olympics Skating!

In December/ January, we participated in Special Olympics Skating at Rompin' Roll skating rink. We had such a wonderful time!

It was amazing to watch, over the weeks, students who could not skate (in the beginning) learn to skate on their own. We have some of the most determined kiddos around!
