I know it's been a lonnnnnngggg while, but I'm still in the teaching world. Here and there....
I’m subbing a 2nd grade class this whole week. And of course, today its a special day. It’s election day. All the kids know this. Although they are too young to vote for real, the concept of voting should still be taught early. And that is exactly what we did.
The entire school had our own voting process. Each classroom represented a state. Each student got their own ballot with the choice of McCain or Obama. The kids were super excited about this.
It just so happend that today’s math lesson involved learning about picture graphs. As the clever teacher that I am ;), the two concepts were quickly combined. The result? A very cute and complete landslide winning by Obama.
