Friday was an exciting day in our classroom community.  We held an election for Mayor, Judge, Housing Commissioner and Supervisor of Maintenance. The children gave fabulous, thoughtful speeches, full of creative ideas. I was so proud of all the candidates for taking the risk to run. After the votes were counted, they  proved to be outstanding citizens as they congratulated each other and exhibited good sportsmanship. Our elected community leaders are listed below.

Mayor – Ruby, Judge – Benjamin, Housing Commissioner – Grady, Supervisor of Maintenance – Tali

Risk Takers

We were ready to brainstorm names for our community.  Before we even started, the kids told me that they had already come up with a name.  They said they want to call it Dowling Town because it is my last year.  That was such a special surprise for me. I have never had a town named after me. I am one fortunate teacher to be able to learn alongside your amazing children!
