Patterns!

We began our pattern unit this week with a pattern walk, searching out the patterns that we see throughout our world. The children were able to record a number of different patterns and used many creative ways to record...drawing the shapes, writing first letters of the word, and making patterns with their patterns. We began some pattern making activities in free choice time, and will continue to investigate patterns for a while. We talk about patterns as helping us to predict what comes next. We played a "what's missing" game, to practice looking closely and remembering. When you look at the photos, make sure to notice the engagement and interest! We had a great week.
Until Next Time,
Michele
