Math and Literature

We explored counting patterns using Popsicle sticks this week. Each Popsicle has two sticks, which lent itself to counting by two's. We created a chart and made lots of interesting observations.

Today we did some data collection and graphing. Everyone colored a Popsicle to match their favorite flavor and we created a bar graph. We then answered questions about the graph such as:

Which flavor is most popular in our class?

How many more students chose orange than red?

How many fewer students chose green than purple?

We also kicked off our Eric Carle author study today. What makes Eric Carle a unique author and illustrator? We partner read lots of books and shared our ideas.
