Every four years it happens, and 2020 is an election year here in the United States. It's a great time to dust off those civics lessons and teach them, when the kids can watch them being acted out (hopefully, appropriately) on center stage. We've broken this into lower and upper grades sections...
First up are some great resources to use in an elementary setting this year - books, dvds, printable activities, and online activities. I love how the movie Swing Vote shows exactly how important every single vote truly is!
