We have a project based co-op that we started this year. It has been so much fun. This year my friend Tiffany Mcduffey planned a fun project on the elections. We read this book with our families and the kids all got to run for president. We had debates, the kids wrote a persuasive essay on why they think they should be president, the kids created commercials, we learned about the branches of the government and finally at the end everyone voted for president. It was a lot of fun. Tiffany even planned on electoral votes so when we voted for president they won specific states and got to see that California had the most electoral votes. It was a great time.
The elections this year were probably the most stressful I've ever experienced. My kids got really into them and this book helped us understand a lot. It's about a kid who decides to run for president and wins. It was a fun read and we got to experience and discuss all the hard work that goes into running for president. My kids all decided that they never want to run for president.
