Our Monday was filled with sunshine both inside and out! The kids enjoyed sharing their Halloween experiences this morning in a journal writing. We started our study of government today and talked about the election tomorrow. In the afternoon we learned more about the Election of 2010 from our Time for Kids magazine and Brain Pop. We also talked about how to write many of the letters in cursive! The kids are excited about it. Tomorrow we will have a mock governor election in our classroom!
