How+We+Got+Our+Name


 * The pictures on the PDF file are the same pictures we used to vote. Mrs. Samantha tried to draw the animals. We displayed the pictures above the voting space. This gave the children a visual to look at along with words explaining what it was.

Step 1: We decided on five animals we would like to be: Elephants, Lions, Caterpillars, Cows and Girraffes.

Step 2: Mrs. Samantha got paper and made the photos of the animals.

Step 3: We talked about how we were going to vote. We used small strips of stickers to represent our vote. We also talked about how everyone gets a vote and their voice would be heard.

Step 4: The children began voting by placing their sticker under the picture of the animal they choose.

Step 5: Ms. Becka and Mrs. Samantha voted. We explained how everyone in the classroom gets a vote and a voice.

Step 6: We counted the votes. It turned out the caterpillars and the elephants tied with 6 votes.

Step 7: Ms. Becka held up the elephant sign and Mrs. Samantha held up the caterpillars sign. We told the children to stand next to the animal they wanted to choose. The elephants won by a landslide.

Step 8: We became the Elephant Room and enjoy being called the Elephants.
