The Pattern Museum

We celebrated our traditional pattern museum this week. The kindergarteners were very proud of their work and able to explain their pattern work to a variety of interested visitors, including preschoolers, teachers, our first grade friends, and administrators. Exciting times, and now we know that the kindergarteners are pattern experts.
Until Next Time,

Patterns and more Patterns.....

We learned a new game, called "What's Next"; the children make a pattern and cover up the last few spaces with cups, and then there is some guessing!

 We have learned how to construct (and invent) a variety of patterns, including AB, AAB, ABB, ABCD, and etc; learning the components of pattern making.
 The children constructed and acted out arrow patterns- up, down, side to side.

Until Next Time,
Michele
