We had a little lesson in civics and voting on a field trip to the Magic House... But first, we played like heck in the village! All the buildings were decked out in the campaign posters that Emilyn and the other second-graders had made. On the ballot: Recycling, wearing helmets, wearing seat belts, playground safety, going to school year round (that one failed in a landslide!) We voted on eight ballot measures, then each team got to tally up one.
Anyway, it was really fun, and I got to go, because Grandma was here to take care of Allen. So, it was neat! Hope you all go and vote Tuesday! And, when they're tabulating into the wee hours, please think of me, and the rest of your free press. As Emilyn exclaimed at the end of her field trip report: "WE THE PEOPLE!"
