Today the children created a graph of what kind of stuffed animals they brought in. They found that the largest group was dogs (8), followed by bears (5), then lions (2) and cartoon creatures (2). Then there were single giraffes, elephants, hampsters, mice and rabbits. We demonstrated that when the animals are all laying in a pile, you could not easily tell how many of each kind there were. However, when we organize them by type of animal and display them on a grid, it is easy to count and record how many of each type there were. The children had fun spending the day with their stuffed animals and wearing their pj's. Have a great March Break!
