A class of Ada first graders learned about the voting process earlier this week - and on Tuesday held their own election.
According to Rachel Ludwig, Ada first grade teacher, "My first grade class learned about the election and voting process by reading the story "Duck for President," by Doreen Cronin.
The story of Duck begins in a humble pond. Duck worked his way to farmer and then to governor. And now, perhaps, to the highest office in the land.
The book has received the New York Times best illustrated children's book award.
Mrs. Ludwig added that the students registered to vote on Monday and then participated in a mock election by voting Tuesday.
