Tomorrow's the day....Election Day!

So my 7th graders are VERY excited to vote tomorrow! They all have many different opinions on who to vote for and are excited to find out the results. I just wanted to post a short post on what I am doing tomorrow. When students get to class they are going to vote using the Pearson ballots for the state of Kansas. I created the following "voting booth" for students to go behind when they vote:



 
Students will go behind the board and vote. I also have "I voted" stickers to give them once they are done! I am hoping they will enjoy it. They will also be making various campaign items while they are in class. Some ideas will be t-shirt designs, bumper stickers, pins, and posters.
 
It is SO important to get them interested in voting at an early age so they will be contributing citizens when they are older!
