Silly In Second

I created these sentence prompt sticks for my students when we are discussing informational text both in large group and guided reading group settings.

Mondays are "Math Monday" in my classroom and we practice gathering data within our class by answering a question and making a tally. After we have collected all our data we construct a bar graph. I created this because our Math Curriculum does not allow for much practice with creating and interpreting graphs so we spend up to 15 minutes each Monday morning as "Graphing Guys and Gals". The arrows on the first page of each question are facing the right because the graphs are to be copied doubl
