It's Election Day!

It's Election Day! One of my favorite days is finally here! I believe that Election Day is such a great day. It's a day where everyone comes together to exercise your right to vote. Whether you are voting in the same party or different parties. Our country has one thing in common, and that's bettering our country, ourselves, and our communities.

That being said, I had my first read aloud today. I decided to read One vote, Two vote, I Vote, You vote By: Dr. Seuss. I struggled trying to find a book for my read aloud, considering my field experience classroom is first graders. This book is geared more towards fourth and fifth graders. I chose to read this book in the end because I feel as though it was educational. This book had what the different parties were, what electoral votes meant, and various other definitions that they were going to hear over the next few weeks. The kids ended up loving the books and continuously asking questions throughout the book and afterwards. I wasn't expecting such an overwhelming review from them. I'm glad I did so that they could become more educated on their next activity which was a school wide vote on their favorite three books and a classroom vote.
