#CelebrateWithDE - Election Day Virtual Viewing Party
#CelebrateWithDE and Join Us for an Election Day Virtual Viewing Party
There is plenty to talk about in this election cycle, but it may seem challenging to discuss some of the particulars in your classroom.
Whether you teach the early grades or high school seniors, you may wish to focus on the election process rather than the specific slings and arrows of this election. Discovery Education has a robust selection of resources and we are hosting a Virtual Viewing Party to help your students learn about the election process so they can be educated and informed voters or future voters.
