The Results are in...

For V week, we learned about voting!  We talked about how our families were going to vote for a president on election day, and held our own class election!  Instead of voting for a president, we voted for a name for our class bear!  Each child was able to offer an idea that they thought would be a good name for our bear!  After everyone had a turn to share, each child each voted for their favorite name.  We learned what a tally mark was and used them to help us keep track of our votes.  Once everyone had a turn to vote, we took the top two names held a real election!

The top two names were: Sparkly Bear and Monster High

 

 

We learned that when you vote, you do it privately so no one knows your vote.  We discussed how it was OK to vote for something different than our friends and we didn't have to share who we voted for unless we wanted to.  Each child took a turn to go to our polling center and fill out a Ballot to vote for one of the top two names. 

 

Once all the votes were cast, we counted them and learned that the winner of our class election and the new name of our bear was:

Monster High
