Election

I've been waiting for the Presidential Election fever to pass before bragging about an Election of my own. But who am I kidding, this Election fever is going to stay a while.

Earlier this month little Miss Haana's montessori teachers- Miss Ashwani and Miss Zeena talked to the class about the elections. The children learnt who the major parties were,  who their nominees were. When the election day was. And then later,  they learnt who the new president will be.

But to drive home the concept,  they had a class election to choose the class president. There were 6-7 candidates. They have campaign speeches describing why their classmates should vote for them. And then after a toughly contested campaign,  it was time for class elections.  Little miss Haana was one of the candidates. She gave her campaign speech describing she would work to keep the class in order. Keep the classroom clean and tidy and orderly. She would be good for them. Ballots were cast and counted. And then it was time to announce the winners.

My little girl Haana was elected the president of her class!!! And I'm the president's mom! Priceless.
