Good Afternoon!
PREK1 friends took turns coming to the sign in board where they identified the pattern on the bead bracelet. They searched for the next color in the pattern and placed the bead onto the bracelet. The pattern that children worked with was an AABCAABC pattern.
K.CA.5: Create, extend, and give an appropriate rule for simple repeating and growing patterns with numbers and shapes.
This morning we worked on creating patterns in the art center. We offered stamps and long pieces of paper to work with. Younger friends were able to make ABAB patterns choosing two stamps and two colors. Older friends could make more complex patterns like AABAAB. Some kids got creative and wanted to make their pattern extend all the way around their paper like a border. Others wanted to see how many stamps they could fit on their paper, and so they were able to practice counting. One older friend took the pattern into her own artwork as she drew her own small circle/large oval pattern.
