Curious George Wants to Know!
by Mrs. Vacha’s Kindergarten
One day Mrs. Vacha’s class received a special letter from the Man with the Yellow Hat!
Dear Mrs. Vacha’s Class,
Curious George wants to come and visit you.
If we may visit, please tell us when.
Thank you.
The Man with the Yellow Hat
This made the class very excited and of course, they wrote back right away!
Dear Man with the Yellow Hat,
We are so happy Curious George can come!
Please come next week!
Your friends,
Mrs. Vacha’s Kindergarten
Curious George was so happy that Mrs. Vacha’s kindergarten class wanted him to visit.
But he was curious! He wanted to know exactly what they liked.
So, the Man with the Yellow Hat wrote to Mrs.Vacha’s kindergarten and asked them to write and tell George what they liked.
The Kindergarteners took a survey to find out their exact favorites.
They each chose one topic they wanted to know about and asked each friend in the class.
They each prepared a survey sheet like this
to organize their data. They interviewed each classmate, carefully writing their friend’s initials to keep track of each choice.
Each child used a checklist (like a map - our tables are hexagons) to be sure to ask every friend.
This way, they did not forget someone by mistake. They had a record and could ask absent students later.
They entered their data numbers on the computer. Then they printed
out a graph to show the results.
Here is what they sent to Curious George:
