Learning about the Elections
We started talking at the end of last week about the elections and who can vote in the United States.  We will continue to talk about the Electoral College and voting this week.  

Last Friday, we tried a new app on the iPads called Basher's Presidents.  The app is set up like a timeline for students to click on different presidents to learn interesting facts about each of them.  Students who had all their work turned in started working on a scavenger hunt with a partner using this app.  Many students learned some interesting a facts about our presidents.
