Election Day in Mrs. Porter’s Kindergarten Class!
After reading Duck for President, Mrs. Porter’s students got to experience the voting process firsthand! Each student cast a ballot to decide who should win the classroom election: Farmer Brown or Duck.
Our students enjoyed learning about voting, making choices, and how elections work. A fun way to bring learning to life in kindergarten!
