Sorting in Junior infants

Halloween Data in Senior infants

We are all excited about Halloween.  We are doing lots of Halloween art and crafts, and learning lots of Halloween words in Irish.  Today we made a Halloween data chart.

 We each got to choose what we like best about Halloween (when it wasn't our turn we kept our eyes closed so we wouldn't see what the others had chosen).  We talked lots about which was the most/least popular group, how many were in each group, how many more/less were in the different groups.  Which would you have chosen if you were in our class?

Titch The Witch asked us to share our favourite things about Halloween with her.  We decided the best way to do this was with pictures and using a chart.  Each picture represented something about Halloween.  

We each had a turn to pick our favourite picture. Then we hid it so we would not just copy our neighbours favourite thing.  

Here were our findings

We had lots of questions and the chart answered them all for us.

There were 15 children in school today.  Most of the children thought trick or treating was the best thing about Halloween ( the sweets represent this).  Only one person liked all the spooky things about Halloween.

Maths in Junior infants

We've practiced finding things of different colour and we were fantastic.  Teacher's toys got all jumbled up so we needed to help her sort them out.  Luckily we are all ready good at sorting now and we fixed all the beads and pegs into sorting trays by colour.  

We love playing number detective with our number fans.  Teacher calls a number and we find that number hidden in the fan.
