On the morning of Oct. 19, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors began their regular meeting with special virtual guests: first grade students from Myron Green Elementary School in San Carlos. The students, all members of Rebecca Donovan\u2019s class, joined via Zoom to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.<\/p>\n
When asked about her students\u2019 reactions, Donovan explained her first graders\u2019 enthusiasm when they heard they would be leading the pledge.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor first graders who weren\u2019t in school last year because of COVID, they actually know it really well, and I was so excited to share that,\u201d she stated. \u201cThey were very excited to get to see themselves on screen. They were so cute.\u201d<\/p>\n
Supervisor Joel Anderson awarded Donovan and her students County certificates of recognition for their participation in the Board of Supervisors meeting.<\/p>\n
Anderson commented, \u201cThese San Carlos students are the future leaders of our community, and I was thrilled to watch them carry out such a patriotic tradition for the entire County. They did a great job leading the meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donovan said the event itself sparked her students\u2019 curiosity. After the meeting, she noted that all her students were asking questions about the event, leading to a class discussion on local government.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn our classroom we\u2019ve been talking a lot about government on a first-grade level,\u201d Donovan shared. \u201cWe\u2019ve been talking about how lawmakers make laws and vote on laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first graders often vote on items within their own class, so attending the Board of Supervisors meeting was a valuable opportunity for the students to see voting in action, according to Donovan.<\/p>\n
The class was already familiar with the Pledge of Allegiance. At Green Elementary, students gather in the courtyard at the beginning of each school day to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, state their Green School Peace Pledge, and hear daily announcements.<\/p>\n
Donovan, who has been a teacher at Green Elementary since 2018, expressed gratitude to the County for the opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just wanted to say thank you for choosing our class and allowing us to do it, because it was a great opportunity to have some good conversations and for them to get to do something outside out of the realm of normal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
