Dear Families,
We had another busy week in Room 24! Today for Veteran's day, students sang two different songs to thank our Veterans at Whole School Morning Meeting. This afternoon we read about what Veteran's day is and why we celebrate. Students then each created a red, paper poppy to wear to show their support. On Tuesday we had a mock election to pick a classroom mascot. We read a story called If I Ran for President and we discussed what a "candidate" is and why having a "platform" is important. It was fun to hear the students saying "don't share who you're voting for, you don't want to sway any undecided voters!" Tracker the dog ended up winning, his "cuddly ears" were a class favorite. :)
