Election Day

What's Schoolin'?

Here is a great worksheet to help children understand the Electoral College.  I couldn't get it to print but maybe there's a trick to printing it:

Here are the Election Process parts from Ben's Guide to Gov't for high school and grades 3-5:

Ben's Guide to US Government for Kids is a great site for a government, civics, or citizenship course.  It goes through 12th grade.

This is a good documentary/lesson plan because it has clips to view and questions for students.  It also has an essay.

What's Cookin'?

Well, for me Tuesday will be a partial fast since I am going to try to fast and pray for the elections [care to join me??].  I plan on mostly liquids [my juice from my Juicing without a Juicer post, bone broth/soup, milk, and other liquids as they occur to me] and either one small meal or 3 tiny ones (like maybe a hard-boiled egg for breakfast since without it I may feel ill and need to function).  I don't fast well!  I'm a big baby and don't do well :).
