Last Tuesday our class was invited to vote on the design for next year's Waitsfield dog tags. Jen Peterson, the Waitsfield Town Clerk, graciously gives this task to Kindergarten students each year, using the authentic experience to teach them about the voting process. Children checked in with Jen one at a time and were presented with a ballot with three shapes and three colors. After privately castilng their votes for one color and one shape, they placed their ballots in the official lockbox. When everyone was done Jen tallied the results. This year the vote was very close between orange and red and fire hidrant and star. Ask your child what next year's tags will look like!
