November 6, 2012 was Election Night, and Tapestry of the Desert celebrated by having an Election Night Party. We prayed for our nation and then had a feast of hot dogs and other all-America foods! The kids wowed us with their memory work-- "Charge of the Light Brigade" for the older kids, and "The Duck" for the Five in a Row cuties. Then the Dialectic kids showed off some of their work from their recent Elections Unit. Each of the two campaigns made commercials and gave campaign speeches, which were debuted to all of the students and families. They also made posters and buttons with slogans. Throughout the night, Presidential election results were tabulated and announced as they came in from throughout the country. The kids were very interested, glued to the TV as results were announced. They colored an electoral college map as each state was decided. Finally, we played a game of Presidential Bingo and the results were announced for our own Tapestry election. Mitt Romney was our choice for President (though America disagreed with us!) and Bob the Crab is our new co-op mascot! May God continue to bless the United States of America!
