Gan Aleph Votes!

The children walked into to the classroom today and noticed the Morot wearing a special pin. "What is that?" they asked. The morot  answered "It's our special pin and it says "I VOTED TODAY!" Gan Aleph learned that today is Election Day and we are voting on who will be the next president of the United States! They learned that the candidates are Romney and Obama and that there are special private voting booths that grown ups go to to vote on who they want to be the next president. We set up our own Gan Aleph secret ballot and decided to vote on which Thanksgiving foods we like the best. The first vote was between apple pie and pumpkin pie and the second vote was chicken or turkey. The children took turns going behind the curtains of our booth and casting their vote by checking off the correct box. When the whole class finished, we looked at the results and tallied how many liked each food type and which food types won with a popular vote! The entire class received "I voted today" stickers and were so proud of our own Gan Aleph election.
