Graphing is for the birds

We have been doing graphing for a bit now and are still into birds on our virtual bird feeder so it was about time we combined graphing and birds.

We created a graph and put it out in the hallway. We have photographs of the nine birds we know and recognize from our feeder. For the next week we are going to watch our bird feeder for two periods every morning and put a sticker above the birds we see. Then we will see which birds we see the most and which ones the least.


We also made predictions about what birds the children think they will see the most. Using those multi-purpose head shots I blogged about earlier, we glued the child's head beside the name of the bird they thought they would see the most and we posted those predictions out in the hallway too.

Now all that is left to do is sit back and watch the birds come to feed.
