Municipal Elections and ...

Hello Blogsophere!!!!!

It has been a while and sooooo much has happened in our classroom! It will be difficult to capture the last three or so weeks in pictures and words but I'll try to highlight some of the wonderful work my students have done.

One exciting collaboration was working with another Grade 5 class to  simulate the election process  - campaign speeches by prospective candidates, campaign posters and to top it off marking an actual ballot in a voting booth!!! This exercise coincided with the October 27th Municipal Elections so it was a real-life, authentic learning experience. The students enjoyed seeing democracy at work! Thanks for the opportunity Ms Villa!


 Student voting!
