And The Winner Is

More than anything, the seventh graders love learning about civics/American government. In December, they learned about the structure of the United States Constitution and the first presidential elections. To solidify the concepts, we held a class election! Two presidential nominees (Danielle Serrano and Jorge Ruiz), went around to different states (groups of students sitting at their desks) to campaign for office. The students then voted by secret ballot, and Jorge was the winner! As the president, Jorge got to appoint the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (Christian Faulkner), whose role is to help maintain order in the classroom, and the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (Kisel Espinal), who helps to keep the classroom tidy and water the plant. The class also voted on a tax collector (Brianna McMichael, who ran unopposed). The tax collector helps to pass out and collect papers in the classroom.
