Thank you! Used it a lot this election year. I liked the resources that can be used every year like the voter timeline. I extended it into a drawing conclusions exercise for reading.
I do not think my packet includes the Election Task Cards recording sheet. I have all the other recording sheets, but not the presidential/senate/rep task card recording sheets.
It's definitely appropriate for third grade, but I'm not 100% sure about second grade. I haven't taught second grade, so I'm afraid to give you a definite answer.

Ashleigh, I just purchased this Election product and I am unable to open it. It says 502 Bad Gateway. It is probably a problem on my end. But is there any way you can email the file to me?? jbphelan@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Jennifer
Ashleigh - I can't tell from the preview and before I purchase this I would like to know if any of the information is biased towards one candidate? Thanks, Kimberlee
No, I tried very hard to not have any bias in the product (I probably need to add that to the product description). I tried to not get into the issues as much as elections in general. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I've been teaching for 8 years and think I have the best job in the world! I've taught 3rd and 4th grades and love developing curriculum and activities for my students.
