Roots and Shoots with some helping hands organized a great mock election. The series of pictures starts with the end. Here the kids play what time is it Mr. wolf in celebration of Sam the Wolf winning the Election. Outdoor time throughly enjoyed.
It's currently time for the Federal Elections and Roots and Shoots is holding an Elections of their own. The kids were really geared up for it as we have been talking at home about the elections and the choices we have to make with there being different parties. At the Roots and Shoots election we were choosing a mascot through an elections canada kit. Each candidate gave a speach and had a song to share. Then each child registered and choose the candidate they felt was best. Here Elias is registering his name with Sharon.
The next step is casting your ballot; ELias isn't willing to share who he's voting for when asked, he reveals it was Charlie the Raven afterwards because it thought his song was the best.
Every vote counts, and Aria was counted. Here she is choosing who she thinks she be the Mascot.
While others were voting there was a chance to color. Ben has had a keen interest in the election and was feeling very strongly about his vote for the Caribou who happened to be represented by his mum. When the tally was in and mum didn't win Ben felt very sad. We did have a great talk in the car about why people vote for someone- because of their song, that they know the person, that they like what the say and the way they say it, and because they will take action in a way you believe is best. It was hard to understand that I wasn't personally hurt by not winning.
