Electoral College

Tonight I took the opportunity to teach the kids about the electoral college. A few months ago I ordered the School House Rock DVD election collection. I love all those songs like "I'm just a bill up on capital hill..." its such a good way to learn about our government. The DVD came with a map and red and blue stickers. So Abby and I have been watching the news and putting the stickers on the states as they are called for McCain or Obama. It has been a good teaching opportunity. It also gave me an chance to talk to her about why people vote they way they do. We talked about some of the issues that were so important during this election. I'm glad she is so interested in learning.
