Graphing with Cheez-Its!

We are studying graphs this week and I thought about graphing food, cause, well, face it...I like food!  And it's a good motivator for kids!  So I thought about colored cereal, colored macaroni, jello,  even oreo's!   Then I saw this box:

I thought:  I could graph the vowels and the consonants!  They need a little help with that anyway, so it's a Win/Win!!!

And that's what we did today!

I gave each student a sheet of paper, and a handful of crackers.

They had to start out by sorting them into vowels and consonants.   

I even showed them on the ELMO

Then, they could graph them and EAT them!!

I added this graph to my 

Teachers Pay Teachers store

(it's FREE!!!)

Happy graphing!

Perhaps I'm not too good at this....

I used to think of myself as pretty "tech-y".  I mean, I can create flip charts all day, I know my way around Microsoft word, pp, etc..I can use a MAC and a PC, I can even install software!  I am even the "go-to" person at my school for computer/tech issues.....BUT this blogger stuff is all new to me!!  I see people posting links, and cute little buttons, and those google docs......But I can't figure any of it out!  I've been to you tube, google, and even emailed some bloggers to ask for help!

So alas, here is my pitiful little google doc!  We are doing graphs in Math and I created this graph for the students to use a their desks, while I made the "big" one on the board.
