Voting is important......,


Hey kids, I hope that you've had a great weekend! We are counting down until election day!! How many more days until November 4?
As you are aware, I can not keep my mind off of the election. We will continue to keep track of the polls in our classroom. For now, you can click on the link below and listen to the 'School House Rock Songs" related to voting and the election. http://disneydvd.disney.go.com/schoolhouse-rock-election-collection.html#/?page=Preamble
Oh, don't forget to remind your parents that early voting ends on this Thursday, October 30th.
Since, we've just finished our unit on explorers, VOTE your favorite explorer. Who would you choose as your favorite explorer and why?
Oh, why is voting so important???

If you were president......


Last night was round 2 of the presidential debate. In class today, we discussed about the importance of responsibility. We also talked about the many responsibilities a President has to lead our country. Think about the issues we have in this country, and if you were President of the United States what "changes" would you make and why?
How would you help the people in our country?
If someone is undecided about voting; what would you tell them to convince them to vote?
