Brownie Points!!

We had some very exciting news yesterday in 1S, we earned our last brownie point!  We created a list of different things that we wanted to do for filling up our brownie tray.  Then we took a class vote to see which idea had the most votes.  The winner was pajama day and stuffed animal day!  First graders can wear their pajamas and bring a small stuffed animal (must fit inside their backpack) to school on Thursday, November 17th! 

Duck for President!

Over the past few weeks we have been reading fiction books about voting and elections.  Today we read Duck for President and had our very own election to vote for Farmer Brown or Duck for president.  Below are a few pictures of our private voting stations.

After everyone voted, they wrote about who they would vote for and why.

Once all the results were in, we created a graph of how many votes each candidate had.  We used this graph to make observations about what we noticed when looking at the results.  As you can see, Duck won the campaign in 1S!  

Be sure to ask your child about this fun voting activity!
