Each day the children have the opportunity to answer a question-of-the day. Question-of-the-day is a graphing activity and is used to teach young children how to collect and organize data in a graphic representation as well as teach them how to analyze the data.
From a mathematical perspective, graphing and answering questions can help children understand and use mathematical language such as more than, less than, equal, and the same.
Reading the questions daily supports the development of emergent literacy skills. When children engage in this type of activity they are learning to understand that print has meaning, track the print in the sentence, and use picture cues to help them understand the text.
Here the children are answering the question... Do YOU have a pet? (Sometimes their answer is wishful thinking!!)
Survey says...
