Kids Yoga Winter Sequence Yoga Pose Card Deck & Journal
By Lara Hocheiser
FREE GIFT with purchase! Get our Winter Yoga Coloring Book for free with purchase*!

However, the winter yoga sequence is a great way to promote physical activity and encourage movement during a restless time.
The Winter Sequence is a 13 page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card.

Real-Life Math fun! Exciting Data and Stats Activity - Why so many white cars?
By Daniel
It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students.
This DIY hands-on project takes students through the process of collecting, sharing, representing and analyzing qualitative data. Students collect data on the brand, color and type of cars and then present their data in bar and circle graphs.
I have done this project multiple times, have "ironed out any administrative wrinkles" in the practical application of the project and it works every time. Students have a lot fun with the project. They take ownership of the project, since they collect the data themselves.
Qualitative Data, Bar Graphs, Line Graph, Circle Graph, Pie Chart, Statistics, Data, Histogram, Line Graph, Box-and-Whiskers Plot, Stem-and-Leaf Plot.
You might also not want to miss out on these other resources in the Series on Stats and Data!
