Movement

Today we compiled our information from yesterday and created a bar graph showing which countries had the most products. At the top of the list were the USA and China. I think most of the kids were surprised to see the U.S. at the top.

Then we moved on to talking about the regions of the U.S. To give the kids a feel for how we group states together by similar characteristics I had them practice grouping. Each group was given a list of several things you would find in a grocery store. It was their responsibility to place the products into different groups. My favorite categories of the day include; breakfast food, junk food, meals and the spaghetti group!

Tomorrow we will continue with regions by determining the four regions of the U.S.
