WELCOME ABOARD
I'm delighted that you have taken the time to drop anchor here at my little teaching blog: Sailing Though 1st Grade! Oh, the places we will go! Enjoy the voyage.

Last Year I had big plans to do a graph a week with my kiddos, unfortunately it NEVER happened. Although I had collected some graphing files, I never had ones I truly loved and they certainly were not all together in one place. So, this year I decided I was going to make it happen!

I spent most of the last week, hours and hours a day, creating a 150+ page pack that I have entitled:
A Graph a Week
A Graph a Week includes 46 different Graphing Activities... MORE than enough for the Entire School Year! (Here is just a sampling of the graphs you will find in the pack.)

Each Graph includes:
  • Survey Question Header and Data Response Cards to use in a pocket chart or on a bulletin board
  • A Response Sheet with space for TALLYING and GRAPHING RESULTS and lines for recording DATA ANALYSIS
I am really excited about the finished packet and can't wait to implement A GRAPH a WEEK in my classroom this year with my first graders. It is available now in my TPT store


While I was creating the graph I also designed some new Simple Shape clip art called SIMPLY SHAPES which is also available  in my TPT store. I used these graphics for one of the graphs in the pack and have included it below as a FREEBIE for you.


Enjoy, and Happy Graphing!

  5. This is definitely going on my wish list! I'm not sure what grade I will be teaching, so I am trying to get a handle on anything that might be helpful for my future classroom!

  7. These will be wonderful for my classroom. Kids love graphing and it will be a great addition to my math corner for workshop time. I have a question....are you planning a teacher resource to connect the Imagine It units to the Common Core? My district is now requiring unit plans as well as daily lesson plans. I've seen some thing on other sites, but not directly connected to the Imagine It unit themes. PLEASE! I'm sure I'm not the only one who will use this resource if you make it. I'll need the Common Core related to each theme as well as essential skills and other categories. I can fill you in if you are interested in creating something like this. Thanks for all you do.

  10. I love to do a different graph every few days with my Kinders as part of Calendar. They really enjoy it. Since it isn't directly in our Common Core (just as sorting data, I'm sneaking surveys in as counting & comparing numbers). I love the shape graphics and they will be first off my wishlist. I just made a ton of activities with standard Microsoft shapes but they felt a little undone - your smiling shapes will be perfect.
