Third Graders Vote for a Cause 3rd graders cast very important votes in Mrs. Tropf’s social studies classes on Tuesday, November 8th! Dr. Seuss, who ran for President as the kids’ candidate, asked students across the country to help choose what charity his administration should support with a $10,000 donation when he gets into office. Prior to the vote, students reread old Dr. Seuss Favorites: The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, The Lorax and Horton Hears a Who. Each book was paired with a charity and students wrote persuasive pieces to explain to their peers why they were going to vote the way they were. The charities are First Book, Oceana, Conservation International, Feed the Children, and PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center (NBPC). On Election Day, students cast their ballots at the start of class. Poll workers checked everyone in and then directed them to the electronic voting booths to cast their votes. Everyone received an “I Voted” sticker after casting their ballot.
