Grade 1 and 2 Graphing

This morning we sorted Smarties and graphed our results.  We were excited to eat the data when we were done graphing!  We then discussed commercials ~ what are they for? what do they use to get your attention?  I told the students that I can remember, and still sing, the Smarties song from 30 (or so) years ago.  We viewed that commercial, and came up with 3 things that commercials use: humour, a song or jingle, or a
famous celebrity.

Here is a sample of the commercials we viewed today:

Smarties ~ 1980

Smarties ~ 1990

Smarties ~ 1994
