We have spent last the two weeks discussing the federal election. We have discussed the different parties, who their leaders are and who their local representatives are. We have learned that we vote for local representatives and not party leaders. We have discussed the different parties’ platforms and talked about what each candidate stands for. Today we did this questionnaire to figure out where each of us stood on the political spectrum. Then we finally got to vote in a simulated election at Palliser Heights School!
We have learned that you need photo ID to be able to vote. So we all got some very special photo ID!
This is our polling station.
Voting is private. No one can watch you vote
We tallied the votes together. These are our results:
We are excited to talk to our families about voting and hear what our parents have to say. We can’t wait to see the results from the real federal election on Monday night!!!
Awesome!!!
Dear Ms .Kreuger
I like your coment about when we did mystery skype.
Did you like the mystery skype? I like skypeing with people from other states. You did a good job knowing where we lived.

Dear Miguel,
We had a lot of fun trying to guess where you live. It was good practice for us to learn about the United States. How are you liking The Year of Billy Miller?

Thanks for commenting on our blog. It’s very exciting when we get comments, especially from students in another country! It sometimes rains hard here in Moose Jaw but usually we just get a lot of wind. We get a lot of snow in the winter time. There are 25 students in our class. We hope to talk to you soon!

Dear Crew,
In Saskatchewan, Grade 3 students only learn to multiply up to 5 X 5. Do you know how to multiply 9 X 9?

Dear Hannah,
We had a lot of fun doing our own election at school. We had a federal election on Monday and a new Prime Minster was elected. It was very exciting! We don’t have a president. Will your school be doing a vote to practice for your election?
