6th grade & Ms. Guelfo's Kindergarten classes

Our 6th grade class visited Ms. Guelfo's class on Friday to "interview" and make line graphs based on these questions. Both classes seemed to enjoy themselves, the 6th graders did such a great job at talking with the kindergartners and enlisting their help in coloring in their graphs. Each 6th grader drew two graphs, Halloween costumes, and then Household pets.

The 6th graders surveyed 10 children to ask them 1) what they wanted to dress up as for Halloween and 2) how many pets/types of pets they had in their house. There were some very interesting answers! As they did this, I drew a sample bar graph on the board and asked the kindergartners if they could tell which houses had the most of which type of pet. Almost all of the kindergartners knew the answer was cat, when I asked why, they said it was because "that bar is the tallest." Pretty smart cookies!

Both classes hard at work.



Some brotherly love.







We had a great time and hope to partner with Ms. Guelfo's class in the future.
