Today we finished our Government/Election Project.  Project  This week the scholars have been hard at work running a campaign for their candidates.  We read the book Yertle the Turtle .  Then we divide the class into two campaigns a Yertle campaign and a Mack campaign.  They had to decide who would be the campaign manager, the candidate, the commercial producers, the speech writers and the advertising makers.   They worked all week getting ready for the conventions today.  We held the conventions and then watched the commercials.  Now that they were informed voters we had the election.  It was close but Yertle one by one vote.  I would say they did some great campaigning for the election to be so close.  Watch the conventions and commercials below.
