Feb 12 the library media center was used for voting in the Virginia Primary. Voting is an important citizen responsibility. Some children were able to watch someone vote.
Grades 3-5 (to get ready for the election) have been looking up information about US residents, citizens, responsibilities of a citizen, who may become president, and how a person becomes President of the USA. We used reference sources including http://bensguide.gpo.gov
Your children might like to go to the site and do some of the activities provided for all grade levels.
The next 6 - 8 weeks will be spent using reference sources to discover how to use them and what types of information are found in each.
We will use encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, atlases, etc. on-line and off-line.
5th grade will also learn about Eleanor Morgan, a Virginian, who refused to move from her bus seat long before Rosa Parks.
