ROCK THAT VOTE!

An interactive, joyful celebration of classroom elections and the power of voting.

Fins, paws, wings, or claws? With so many choices for a new class pet, these kids has the big task of picking a critter to become part of their classroom family. To make sure it's all fair and square, they put it to a vote! As the students make posters to support their choice and excitedly submit their ballots, readers can join the chants and cheers to make sure everyone rocks that vote!

Key selling points

- Social and emotional learning: When two friends disagree about a vote, their teacher helps them talk through what happened so they both can understand and models how we can move past disagreements.
- Classroom applications: The lesson about voting goes beyond the class pet and can be worked into lessons about any big decision a class might make together
