Over the past few weeks we heard snippets of conversation about Clinton and Trump in our classroom. We discussed the election and decided to hold one of our own. Since we do not have elected officials in our class a different kind of election was in order.
We decided to vote on what snack we would have for Shabbat party. We had just baked rolls and challah for the upcoming Friday night dinner. The challot were quite aromatic. The big question became, "Should be have challah or cookies for Shabbat party?" The democratic process of majority rule was discussed. We would all comply with the outcome of the voting. Only one choice could win. Ballots are cast in secret. No campaigning was allowed inside the classroom as the voting was to held there.
Tuesday morning we set up voting booths and ballot boxes. Each child was issued KDH government photo ID. The children voted. At lunch time the votes were counted.
It was a landslide victory for cookies with the count being 15 to 5.
We wish all our choices would be so easy!
