Happy Friday!
This week has been all about patterns and today, we focused strictly on making our own patterns!
During kindergarten sign in, Daniel and Bo worked with numbers in the form of dots to make their patterns. For example, Bo chose to make the pattern 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1.
K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers of shapes.
After reading a Frog and Toad story focused on the fall time, we used the wooden rainbow to create patterns using colorful puff balls. When children make patterns, they tend to be more on the simple side such as an ABAB pattern. However, today that went out the window!
The four K/PREK1 group members created more challenging and complex color patterns! The patterns they came up with were ABCDEABCDE, ABCABC, ABCCABCC, and AABCDDEEAABCDDEE. QUITE complex! “I’m going to make a hard one!”—they took great pride in the patterns they came up with!
K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers of shapes.
A few friends helped me make two new batches of playdough this morning! They discussed it and decided on a blue batch and a pink batch. They were amazing helpers.
We finally got a nice morning full of sunshine! We spent time outside which was amazing for our bodies and souls.
Breakfast– Brown rice cakes with peanut butter and banana.
