Greetings world!
I have missed everyone so much. I actually have missed blogging...a lot! Things just get so busy don't they? I feel like Heather and I have struggled a little in the last couple of years with the stress and management of several unruly classes. But I come to you on our 103 day of school in complete second grade bliss. I am in love with my little bunch of babes and I wish time would slow down just a little!
The last few weeks we have been busy graphing. Graphing everything imaginable! Most specifically we have been working on Bar Graphs and Pictographs. I was getting a little tired of coming up with lots of survey questions to ask my class. Then I came across this amazing file from Kim Swoveland. Aren't they incredible? So I laminated them and put them up on my board. Each day I assign a different group to answer the survey question as they enter the room. By Friday, everyone has been able to answer and we are ready to use the data.
From our survey data we create a tally chart and then a pictograph and bar graph on Fridays. It is a quick and easy way for my class to practice this graphing skill each week! Check out the blank graph that I use each week. I just copy the pages front to back.
