FUN WITH PATTERNING!

This month, the students will be exploring different kinds of patterns (i.e. AB, ABC, AABB) and learning to identify the attributes (i.e. colour, shape, size).  To launch our unit, students were asked to make patterns using items of their choosing.  Some students chose to show their patterns using art materials, while others explored the block station, writing station and math station.  Here is a snapshot of some of the patterns made:

Students also had many opportunities to explore our "Learning Places" in the classroom which includes our Working With Words areas, Reading, Writing Station, Math Station, Science Stations and Building Station.  It was wonderful to listen to students as they planned their play and collaborated on different projects.  I am looking forward to learning more about the children and continuing to provoke learning through our "Learning Places."
