Mock Election

On Election Day we held a mock election for President of the United States!  The kiddos were very familiar with the two candidates running for president!  We discussed how we "vote" for things all the time.  Sometimes we vote for things like the movie we want to watch, which restaurant we want to eat at, our favorite candy, etc.  These are little votes, but voting for the President of the United states is a very BIG vote!  Each child marked a ballot with the candidate of their choice, folded it in half, and dropped it in our ballot box.


          


As I opened each vote and read them aloud, we graphed them and discussed the results.  Here's how our class vote came out!
