Tallies, tallies everywhere!

Robin in the Rain Tally Chart
The whole school is learning about data management and we in the junior kindergarten room are doing this by using tallies. We did a tally together about our squishy paint monsters and decided if each was a scary or a happy monster. Then we graphed the results. Now the children are interviewing each other about whether they prefer apples or bananas, princesses or frogs. We will be doing many tallies and graphing many things to give the children many chances to practise this skill. If you hear them talking about this at home, now you know why there's a sudden tallying craze.
