The "First Family"
Tomorrow we will participate in the Klem South Mock Election. Children filled out their voter registration forms yesterday, and tomorrow they will have an opportunity to go to the polls to cast their vote for the next president of the United States. Today we spent some time visiting the PBS Kids Democracy Project website to learn more about the history of voting rights. We also enjoyed becoming "President for a Day." As we were making choices about how to spend our time as President, one of the terms we learned about was "first family." We were given the option to have lunch with the first family, and I asked the children if they knew who that meant we would be eating with. Immediately our friend "Dobrom" (secret code name from last year) replied "ADAM AND EVE!"

I really like politics and I wish I could have been there to be part of your election. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mrs. Sero isn't teaching a future president, or astronaut or great inventor, writer or artist. You have so much fun learning in your class, it makes grownups wish they could go back to school!
how cool it is to be able to vote in such an historic election in 1st grade!
