A Sheehan School Election

A Sheehan School Election

Different from some other grades here at the Sheehan, students in 1L participated in a smaller, mini unit of study on the election process in the United States this month. 

We discussed important election vocabulary.

We determined the different things that a candidate would do in order to "run" for president.


We brainstormed what values a president should have and what actions would be important for them to do or have done.

We even participated in an school-wide student election organized by the 2nd grade. 


It was also a great opportunity to weave in some ideas about leadership that we have been discussing.

Please find some additional resources on brainpop to extend student thinking about the topics above.

Love,
Mrs. L
