This Tuesday is a very important day in history. Your parents will be voting in the 2008 Presidential Election. Our vocabulary words this week (inspired by our Book of the Month- Grace for President) will teach you about some of the words you will be hearing on the news and maybe at the dinner table during the election.
We have found a video from Nickelodeon to inspire some discussions (and comments). The video introduces the presidential candidates with a fun song and gives a lot of information about the upcoming election. Nickelodeon actually had an election on their TV station and website just for kids. Kids around America voted on the candidate they thought would be the best candidate for President of the United States. The candidate the kids chose was Barack Obama.
Watch the video below and leave a comment about your thoughts on the Presidential Election of 2008.
(There are pauses between each clip...keep watching until the end!)
