Still Tied!

Once upon a time, there was a boy who had a baby spider plant and he wanted to give it a name. He had three names that he liked but he couldn’t decide which one was his favourite. The names were: Sid, Barney, and Spivey. He decided to ask his classmates to vote for their favourite name during their class meeting on Friday. After the votes were counted at the class meeting, there were six votes for Sid, one vote for Barney, and six votes for Spivey. The vote was tied between Sid and Spivey. The students didn’t know what to do so Noah suggested that Ms. McKenna could send an e-mail to the kids that were not at the class meeting and ask them to vote. By the end of Monday, three more kids had voted. One student voted for Sid, one voted for Barney, and one voted for Spivey. Now, the votes were seven for Sid, two for Barney, and seven for Spivey. Still tied!  Now what should they do? To be continued . . .

Just for fun, take a look at this short video to see how someone used stop motion animation to make a video about downhill skiing in their home.

For storytime today, here is a story about being unique and not worrying about what other people think and it is also about sandwiches. It is called Carla’s Sandwich. It is written by Debbie Herman and illustrated by Sheila Bailey.

Update on the class story: Theia has written and illustrated a fantastic beginning for the class story. It will be typed and sent to Melody to continue today.
