Today we presented our projects about the Presidential Election! Here are a few things I learned. I learned that we've had 18 Democratic Presidents and 15 Republican Presidents. George Washington was not a Democrat or a Republican. Donald Trump could be the 1st President who has not been a General in The United States Army or been in a public office (representative or senator). African Americans were finally granted the right to vote in 1965! Women couldn't vote until 1920! Hillary and Trump were at one time friends. They are really close in age, too! Only 1 year apart! Polls are used to survey the public about the candidates or about the issues facing our country. The media uses polls everyday to figure out who is in the lead in the presidential race! We checked in with the media and Hillary is up by 4% in many of the recent polls!

| The President has many jobs! |
 |
| Political Parties are groups of people who have the same opinions about how are government should operate! |
 |
| Caucuses and Primaries are held before the conventions. In a caucus you vote publicly and in a primary you vote privately. Campaigns cost a lot of money! Hillary has spent 1 billion dollars! |
Which one of these candidates will win tomorrow!
During math we used the Give and Take strategy to use our Number Sense to make problems easier to solve! Here is an example of it in use! Ask your child to explain!
