Election Day

Can 3 year olds learn about elections?

Absolutely!

One of the wonderful four year old teachers set up a voting booth on the playground and we took full advantage. Our hotly contested election was to see which animal we liked better - elephants or giraffes. The children voted by rubber stamping their favorite animal on a paper "ballot" and folded it up. When we returned to the classroom, we counted the votes and the results are in:

Elephants win - 9 to 6.
