Today a leader was elected and we all had a great time practicing democracy. We had student council nominations and speeches this morning and the kids all listened while the Div. II kids that wanted to be in the council gave their speeches. I am lucky enough to be the staff liaison to the student council and look very much forward to the adventure and good deeds we will be doing as part of the community. When I got back to class my super EA Mrs. R was giving the kids a run down on how democracy works and this led to me deciding to bump up our work and begin discussions on our classroom government and we elected (after a third set of ballots) a Prime Minister and 2 leaders of opposition parties. Cabinets and ministers will be decided on Tuesday when we return from Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a great long weekend. Spending tomorrow in meetings and then HOPEFULLY getting our classroom pet :) STAY TUNED!
