The Candidate I Liked...

11/9/2016

I don't know about you but I was up late last night. I bet some of your students were today too! As you know, I work in central office for a large school district. I've heard from many counselors that their kids came to school today with strong emotions about the election results.

A friend of mine shared a great idea from a teacher friend, Elizabeth McLamb, to help kids to process their strong feelings and be a good citizen of their class. With her permission, I have added some fun clip art and fonts and am sharing it below or click here.

What are you doing to help your students to process the election, results, and their strong feelings?

This is a great idea, however as an English teacher, I must point out that you have a major grammar error. Who's in the second line means who is; thus your sentence doesn't make sense. It should be whose. Also change friends to friend.

Great catch, Beckie. It's all updated.

I just paid for and downloaded the Elmer Elephant but there is no story...only the elephant coloring pages. What is the link to get that story? Otherwise the color pages don't do me any good.

Hi Sandra, that activity is to accompany the book Elmer by David McKee. I did not write the Elmer story, but created an activity to go with it.
