• On the 100th Day of School, the class randomly picked 100 Fruit Loops from the box.  If the large chart isn't mounted on a poster, the chart may have to be flat on the floor until the glue dries.  Jelly Beans and M&M's are also a good ideas.

• We then sorted the Froot Loops by color and glued the froot loops to a large graph. 

• The students then created a graph by hand at their desks.

• When done they signed their name on the board to wait for their "time on the computer.

• Using that information, they used "Graph Club CD" and each created a 100th Day Fruit Loop Graph. 

• A class graph is created to show that one picture represents "two" objects. (If time permits, individual graphs may be created as well.

• Children create questions that correlate with their graph.
