Election 2016
The first presidential debate is Monday evening. Voting for our next president is just six weeks away on Tuesday, November 8th. As we get closer to voting day in the United States, students may have questions. The following article from School Library Journal shares some fantastic resources to help students better understand the electoral process, how elections work, and political issues, such as immigration and education, that affect students and their families.
Informing the Future Electorate shares videos, websites, apps, as well as resources to follow on Twitter. It includes PebbleGo Vote! for grades K-2, Ben’s Guide for Kids—Elections for K Up, several other elementary, middle, and high school resources. PBS Election Central Classroom Resources is an excellent educational guide to our US Elections.

I continue to share ways to help students better understand why we celebrate Banned Book Week, as well as Banned Website Awareness Day (Wednesday). Check out...
