collecting data and taking surveys

This week we learned about data. We drew a picture of our lunches, and chose our favorite item from our lunch, then shared with the group and decided how to group our data. We talked about what we can find out from data; how many people all together collected the data, how many like sweet things, and how many like other foods. From our lunch data we moved on to taking surveys. We came up with an original survey question: some samples were "do you like sunshine?" and "do you like cats?" and "do you like writing?" and with our yes/no chart we polled our classmates, the teachers, and  faculty and pre-k children. When we had enough responses, we counted up how many yes and no's. The questions were so positive that "no's" were rather infrequent.The poll takers were surprised, though, that someone did not like cats.
