Hayshire Happenings: Your Vote Counts! 🗳️

We have been learning how voting is important. You can make people hear your voice by voting. Men and women can vote. We are learning that everyone has the right to vote and everyone should vote. 

Adults vote on candidates for president. They might vote on rules and laws. 

We read Every Vote Counts. It’s a good book because it tells us how we should vote. It tells you step by step how to vote.

We are also reading Vote! The people were voting on who should be mayor, Bill Brown or Chris Smith. People didn’t know who to vote for in the book. There were some facts in the book. We learned that women started voting 130 years after men, and men with dark skin had to wait 80 more years. We don’t think that was right. We are glad that everyone can vote now!

Miss Ferguson’s class voted on a class pet. They had four choices. The choices were hamster, hermit crab, mouse, and guinea pig. They voted on a guinea pig. Now they will vote on a name for their class pet.

Miss Rhodes’ class is voting on the kind of Oreo they like best. The choices are Double Stuff and Birthday Cake. Each person had to get a voter registration card to vote. Then they voted. They voted using a ballot. They're curious to see which kind of Oreo will win.

Third graders like learning about voting. Sophia likes it because instead of one person choosing, everybody can choose, and the majority wins. Natalia likes it because you can vote for what you like best, and maybe what you voted for will win.
