The Amazing Life of Helen Keller

On Thursday, March 5th the students had a chance to visit with Helen Keller...well, an actress who portrayed Helen Keller!  Sheryl Faye's portrayal of Helen Keller was so realistic, even the teachers thought we were meeting the 'real' person!

The students were memorized by the performance.

The Munchkins Voted in a Mock Election

On Tuesday, November 4th, Mrs.  Madden's class hosted a 'mock election' for Governor.  All the second graders had a chance to vote! Many Thanks are sent to Mrs.  Madden and her class for sharing this special event with the grade level. Take a look.....

Before the students voted, each student had to sign in before receiving a ballot.

As four students voted at a time, Mrs.  Madden read 'Duck for President' to the rest of the class as they waited for their turn to vote.

Each student sat in a private 'voting booth' as he/she decided who to vote for as Governor.

After voting, each student put his/her ballot into the ballot box!

The results were shared with the students on Wednesday, Nov. 5th.....Martha Coakley won by one vote!  

The children thoroughly enjoyed the 'voting' experience!  Thank you Mrs.  Madden and Class!
