Patterning

The children have become quite the pattern experts! They have been working on extending and creating patterns using a variety of objects in the classroom, as well as identifying patterns around them (on clothing, in books, in architecture, in nature). 

Here are just a few of the many patterns created by the children:

At home: Patterns can be found everywhere and created anywhere. Encourage your child to identify patterns they see while walking to and from school (e.g. the layout of bricks, line patterns on leaves).
Create patterns with your child at home using common objects (e.g. lay out forks and spoons in a variety of patterns: AB/fork spoon, ABC/fork spoon plate, AABB/fork fork spoon spoon, AAB/fork fork spoon, ABB/fork spoon spoon)
