Student Created Graphs

Hiya peeps!  Happy summer to many off you!

Before we left for summer, we did a little unit on graphs.  We started by learning how to collect data with my Survey Says unit from my little shop.

After a week of data collecting and making class graphs, I challenged my littles to create their own question with a partner and collect data from people around our campus.  My cuties loved doing this!  It was oodles of fun to ask our librarian, office staff, nurse, and older students walking by.  I gave my kiddos about 10 minutes to collect their data.

We loved surveying people around school!

 

This is one survey.  They really thought of creative questions!  Our mascot is a bear cat.

After much data collecting, my students worked with their partner to create a graph that reflected the data.

I even recorded some of my cuties working on their graph creation.

Here is a completed graph!

I also gave each cutie his/her picture to add a speech bubble to and tell something they learned from their graph.

Well, that's about all for now, but I have some great little posts coming up from some fabulous things we did in this very, very busy year!

By the way, here are my 20 precious littles who worked so very hard this year.

Another Graph

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  We had the day off today, so I headed to the school to get some projects finished.  Of course teachers are never finished with their work, but I was able to mark a few things off the to-do list.  

I did created this graph to complete this week.  My cuties will complete a survey first and then we will make the graph together.

More Graphs

We created more graphs this week.  One of my favorites was "Can you blow a bubble?".  I found a similar idea on Pinterest.  If you are not aware of Pinterest, think of ESPN for women.  Yes, it's that addicting.  Anyways, here is a picture of our completed graph.

Before we made the graph, I made my kinder cuties blow a bubble for me in order to stamp 'YES' on the graph.  They were a hoot to watch!  If you ever need a few minutes of down time in a kinder classroom, just give them some bubble gum!

Graphing Galore

Our new math topic is graphing.  We graph a lot in Kindergarten already, but we are focusing a bit more on them right now.  To make graphing more exciting, I am having the cuties do a survey before each graph we constructed this week.  I snatched a slew of surveys from Mrs. Jump's and Mrs. Lee's Winter Unit on Teacher's Pay Teachers.

Here are two graphs we made after completing the surveys from Mrs. Jump.
