Good Afternoon!
We focused on charts and graphs today in kindergarten sign in as well as in K/PREK1 group. For sign in, we looked at a pie chart that revolved around our favorite colors. We talked specifically about what we use charts for and what this type of chart was called. Then, children answered questions based on the information that we learned about using the pie chart.
K.W.5: With support, build understanding of a topic using various sources. (Identify relevant pictures, charts, grade- appropriate texts, personal experiences, or people as sources).
After reading, ‘The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin’ in K/PREK1 group, we looked at a bar graph that focused on our favorite breakfast meal. After I explained the specifics of the information that was shown on the graph, I asked questions like, “The yellow bar is oatmeal. How many kids said that oatmeal was their favorite breakfast?”
We were also able to compare breakfasts and answer questions about our least favorite as well as our most favorite breakfast!

Yesterday, children worked on hollowing out the two pumpkins so they could explore them today! Friends used a hammer to nail in golf tees around the entire pumpkin! It is our favorite fall time activity and children always look forward to it! While it’s fun, it is also a great activity that focuses on hand eye coordination.
