What We Are Doing in Class Week 3

In Social Studies we are wrapping up our Election unit, now that the Election is over. We wrote, published, edited , and printed our essays about which candidate we wanted to win. We also started sharing them, and writing comments about each  other's essays while eating popcorn.  Also before that we held a vote for the national presidential candidates. Some people voted for other people than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, such as ELIZABETH WARREN [ONE],  MICHELLE OBAMA [four],  GARY JOHNSON [ONE],  DONALD TRUMP [THIRTEEN],  HILLARY CLINTON [TWO HUNDRED!].

. Hillary won our “election” at 200 votes, compared to one, four, and thirteen. in class we were also studying how the states voted and the Electoral College. On the graph we also studied  the different shades of red and blue. We talked about how some states went back and forth. The people who watched it would tell us some things. The election unit was a very, very  jubilant.

In reading we have been taught a new entry type for our reading response.  It is called a pressure map. It is where you write about  a certain  characters  pressures. we are still reading Afternoon of the Elves. We have also been put into book club,. and  are working on creating pressure maps for Fly Away Home.
