Our exploration and the creating of patterns continues ….. On Monday we explored patterns in Library, looking at and finding patterns in the songs we sing before we take out books.
In our class, we have worked with Clay, making beautiful patterns by printing with dinosaurs using their feet, their bodies and their spikes! We have also used square counters and teddy bear counters. Students also used the actual clay by rolling it, making little balls, shaping it into different shapes to create more, interesting patterns. We have continued building on our knowledge of the ABAB and ABCABC patterns. This coming week we will explore more patterns and find creative ways to build them. We will also be working together with our buddies on Wednesday, making patterns using shapes. We are learning that shapes and patterns work together. Our exploring continues this week …
Have a wonderful week ahead and please remember to come join us for the ES Celebration of the Arts on Friday morning, 26th April, in the CAC at 8:15am.
