Our Class Name Graph

We read the story Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes today.  We talked about how unique Chrysanthemum's name is and how she felt when her classmates teased her about it.  We realized how wonderful it is that everyone is unique in their own way and that we should respect and enjoy differences in each other.  Next, we wrote our names on colored paper, cut apart the letters and glued the letters to white paper.  We counted the letters in our names and created a class graph to connect our literacy and math learning.  Here is the graph that we created!
 

Look at how many of our friends have 6 letters in their name!
