Happy Birthday Pictogram!

Mrs. Yollis discovered a wonderful graphing site from Mrs. Ogden.

Today we looked at the birthdays in the classroom using a birthday pictogram.

(We took a screen shot by pressing COMMAND + SHIFT + 3)

Then we made up questions!


How many more birthdays are there in November than June?

There are 3 more birthdays in November than June.

  12. @ Jaden, :-)

    Excellent questions! I know someone is going to come along and know the answers! I will answer one of your questions. My birthday is June 11!

    @ Ryan,

    It looks like you created the Birthday Pictograph with your family! Good for you! Unfortunately, we can't publish pictures in the comment section. However, if your mom or dad sends me the jpg image, I'll add it to the post.

    @ Andrew,

    I'm glad you liked Google Earth. It is a super globe! Where would you like to go next?

    Also, do you have a birthday question from our pictograph?

    Your pal,
    Mrs. Y♥llis

  18. Dear Mrs. Y♥llis and class,

    December is a busy month in our house. Not only is my birthday December 18th, my dad's birthday is on December 21st and both sets of grandparents celebrate their anniversaries in December. My favorite part about December is Christmas.

    Happy four day weekend!


    Warmly,

  20. Hello Smarties and Mrs. N.!

    We ♥ your blog! It is always fun to see what you are up to as well.

    I am very envious of all the laptops you have in your classroom. We have two computers and they are so slow! :-(

    Thanks for stopping by!

  23. Dear Miriam,

    Thank you for the compliment! Your question is great also. The season with the least number of birthdays is spring, with 3 birthdays.

  24. Dear Ryan,

    I don't quite understand your question. Do you mean which months have two birthdays in them or how many birthdays have the digit 2 in them?

    Please let me know,

  25. Dear Mrs.Yollis,

    I would have brought in my birthday pictogram today, but I woke up late. My parents say I have been going to sleep too late. I am going to bring in my birthday pictogram tomorrow. I am going to sleep now.
    Good night,
