Preparations for Daniels Upcoming Election Connection Mock Press Conference!

 Daniels Election Connection Mock Press Conference will be held on Friday November 2, 2012 in the cafeteria from 2:00-2:45.  There are 6 5th grade students representing Obama, and 6 5th grade students representing Romney.  Our moderator is a 5th grader.  There will be 8 4th grade students performing a commercial breaks in order to share information about election issues or election information.  There will be 13  3rd grade students who are the reporters asking the questions. Students have done the research for the questions and answers.  They have created their ties and buttons for the event.  More pictures to follow after the event!
Our goal is to create awareness of some of the special freedoms and privileges that American Citizens have- such as voting!  In addition, we want our students to be informed about some of the challenging issues our country is facing, and how the candidates that are running for president feel about those issues. 
I want to thank several of the moms in advance for helping with the signs, decorating the backboards for election and helping to film the event!!  You ladies rock!
We will hold a school Presidential election vote on Tuesday November 6, 2012 for 2-5th grade.
We will report the results on Tuesday afternoon to the student body.


These are the pictures of the graphs that the fourth grade created based on a preliminary survey they generated asking grades 2-5, "If you could vote today, who would you vote for?"  The red lines are republican Romney, and the blue lines are for President Obama.  I think it is obvious how the majority of Daniels voted in this preliminary survey.
