We had an incredible experience today! Mrs. Gannon, a manager of elections for Peoria county, came to our class to explain voting and allow us to cast our ballots using authentic voting machines! One student said, "I didn't know voting could be this fun!" #BannerFamily #323learns

The students imagined their dream bedrooms. At first, they had 10 seconds to draw it. Then, they had 1 minute. On the last part of their page, they had 10 minutes. Worthwhile lesson on 10 second, 1 minute, and 10 minute work! Thank you for sharing this idea @stacywinslow1!!
