Congratulations to each of you! Your group campaign announcements were wonderful! You each pulled on my heart strings and I was so proud of you all up there. Each of your groups had your own added touch to your speech and posters. You each have a different direction you see fitting for becoming the FILA President... and I was blown away at how AMAZING you all did! Again, GREAT WORK! So Proud! (On a side note, many people came up to me to let me know how proud of you they were also, so keep you the motivation and the excitement you have caught their attention!)
We announced our Presidential runnings, now what?!
If you and your family has been following the 2016 Campaign Race for United States President, you will see that they are currently our promoting themselves and their views. They are meeting and greeting, shaking hands, kissing babies, thanking Vets, smiling and waving, and passing out campaign flare (stickers, shirts, signs, posters, pencils, pens, etc). The goal in this portion of the campaign is to make people LIKE you, BELIEVE in you, and RESPECT you to hold a good job in office. In the end you are seeking out their SUPPORT to help you become the next President. If you can see if you can watch a few more interviews from the current candidates. I recommend not just going for someone you like, but also opening your eyes to some things you may not want to say or do from the individuals you do not support.
This week, how can you help your FILA peers want to follow you. Remember having them follow you and respect you will help you earn that vote.
In class this week, Teacher Carrie and I will help your teams come up with ways you can campaign during the day, or even during the week leading to Co-op.
Continue working on Posters and prepare yourself for a couple busy weeks of campaigning to gain that VOTE! :)
Again, I am so very proud of you all and your speeches. The campaign managers did a wonderful job promoting ideas and helping their President prepare and each President did a wonderful job pushing their speech out to their audience. Again, Congratulations!
See you Thursday,
Amber Keener

2015 Campaign underway!
Our Future Leaders and now working towards their FILA Presidential Campaigns. We were able to listen to some previous Presidents' Campaign Speeches, as well as some recent runners for the 2016 Presidential Run. We pulled out key words each Presidential Candidate stated and what tools they used to get the countries attention. Big differences in these past few years verse even a century ago! We have to love Technology.
The kids were paired up into groups of two, where one will be running as President and the other will be their biggest supporter, the Campaign Manager. The kids made their own decision about who was running based on their group discussion and I am looking forward to hearing what each has to present for their running.
This is a group effort, meaning each child has someone to be accountable! Parents, please help give a little reminder that they need to make sure they are doing their part not going to let their friend down. I do not see any problems but to play it safe I thought I would send a little reminder!
The groups are as followed:
Evangeline and Daniel
Ethan and Gwen
Molly and Hannah
Issac and Kaela
The groups finished class working on their campaign strategy and then their campaign announcement speech, which will be given at lunch on April 16th!!! Remember we are not looking for 30 minute speeches, but we want to see what you can do for FILA and who you are and what you stand for! :)
In class next week we, Teacher Carrie and myself, will help look over the speeches and give some helpful pointers if needed, while the kids work on their Campaign Posters. Each group will get 2- WHITE Poster Boards and then some construction paper. They can make as many signs as they wish however they will be responsible to PUT UP and TAKE DOWN their posters. I will pull them out in the Mornings and will be at coop until 3:30pm to help put away. Parents this is another spot where I ask you for your help! :)
As for a timeline of events:
April 16th- Lunch- CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT SPEECHES
April 23rd- Posters start to be hung/ Children can do their own "soliciting" of votes!
April 30th- Race Continues. (Could mean a team decides to Greet at the door early or after Classes, have a Personal Connection Table at Lunch, Passes out fliers, makes another speech, etc...)
May 7th- Lunch- ELECTION DAY!!! Each Group along with their Peers in FILA will cast their votes for our President. We also as a class will be doing a Performance for FILA at Lunch! :)
May 14- Celebrating a Good Run: Announcing our President and celebrating with all campaign runners.
Thank you all and I look forward to seeing this project play out! :)
