Red, White, and Blue!

I am happy to report 100% voter turn out for the Tok Kindergarteners!  They were so excited about the election this week.  We took a field trip to the Senior Center to see what voting was really like....

The best parts were crowding into the voting booth, and getting stickers!

A big thank you to Amy Young and Madison Crozier for helping to chaperone!  Our class actually got to vote in a mock election at Tok School that afternoon.  They were so happy when it was finally THEIR turn to vote!  They took it very seriously.  We even had one write-in candidate from our very own class, who was running on the platform, "I think it would be cool to have my own bowling alley."  

Later that day we celebrated our freedom to vote and the Veterans who help protect our freedom by making flags and a big flag thank you poster for Veteran's Day.

The class performed This Land Is Your Land at the Veteran's Day assembly on Friday with the rest of the elementary classes.  They were very brave for their first school performance and knew all of the words!  I was very proud of them!  

We went from the Stars and Stripes to stars in the sky.  We began a new unit learning about outer space this week!  The class had many questions about space that we will endeavor to answer in the next few weeks.  We began by learning what makes night and day, and all about the moon.  Here we are creating edible phases of the moon with oreo cookies!  

Don't miss our Moon-Gazing party Monday night at the school from 6:30 - 7:30 to celebrate the Super Moon!  We'll have scopes set up, so come see the full moon close up and enjoy hot cocoa and moon pies.  Dress warmly!
