Survey of the Day - Preschool Graphing
Question of the Day, Daily Question, Preschool Graphing and Survey of the Day has long been a staple in early childhood classrooms... for good reason.
With children being quite ego-centric (a nice way of saying, they think it’s all about them), students learn new things more easily when they are at the center of it.
So, when we ask each child a question, gather everyone in the classes’ responses and analyze the data – children are interested!
Topics Discussed:
- How to use survey of the day and the benefits of it
- A walk through of exactly what survey of the day looks like in the classroom
- Types of surveys
