Your Power To Choose!

It was a great election. I'm happy that people actually voted for everybody. - Austin

Steve and I were partners doing the ballot box, and his nickname for me was Prescott Gozda. - Maegehn

This is our first vote, and it was really fun. We got to do posters, and we had a guest teacher come in. - Kayleigh

I'm really happy because I won the election! - Taryn

The election was awesome because I got to vote. It was fun colouring the election signs. - Zoey

We had the privilege of having Mrs. K from Elections Manitoba come into our classroom today, and help us all learn about how elections work, and why they are important. Then, she actually had our class plan and carry out an election, with people filling different rolls such as candidates, returning officers, official agents, and so on (if you're not sure what some of those different rolls are, ask your child to explain it to you!).

(Apologies for the lateness of the post - something happened where I thought the post was published, but just realized it hadn't been! Technology sometimes doesn't work exactly as we plan for it to, but that doesn't mean we should give up on it - sometimes, you've just got to 'roll with it'!)
