Dot-mocracy Day!

Friday, May 4th was an exciting day at Acreman Elementary School! Students waited in anticipation for the moment when they finally got to cast their vote! Each class rotated around various stations completing activities that encouraged them to reflect and think about the playground and the Let Them Be Kids Award. They drew and colored posters showing what they thought "Build Day" would like, they did a writing activity describing what the playground meant to them personally, and they cut out handprints which colorfully displayed what they were thankful for. They did physical activities in the gym to promote health and wellness and they sang songs during music time. The most popular station of the day, of course, was the Dot-macracy Event! Students eagerly entered the library and after much thought, placed their 3 stickers on the playground elements of their choice. Students were overheard saying, "I picked that because my little cousin would like it," and "I picked that one because more people can use it." It was great to see them thinking of others and taking their responsibility as voters so serious. Thank you students for designing our new playground!
