Good afternoon Wee Friends Families!

This morning we were encouraged to try making a pattern with stamps in the art center.  We talked about what a pattern is and remembered some different types of patterns we could make.  We could try to replicate the example of an AB pattern provided, or create our own unique pattern depending on our age and understanding.  There were several interesting takes on this idea.  Some friends came up with an AAABBB pattern or patterns that snaked back and forth across the paper.  One friend made alternating lines of stamps rather than alternating them back and forth in a row.  Some started out with patterns and then chose to go in a different aesthetic direction.  Some friends just wanted to practice stamping.  Everyone took from the activity what fit their individual developmental needs and interests. 

This mornings welcome activity encouraged pattern making in creative ways.  Trays were set up with loose parts that invited pattern possibilities, but could be used in any way a child’s imagination lead them. 

PREK2: At group we focused on showing kindness to friends.  We talked about two ways we could be kind to a friend in our classroom and then picked which we would like to do.
