Patterns, patterns, patterns! A pattern is something that repeats. The kids have been walking around all week finding new and interesting patterns. They are finding them in colors, shapes, books and even ourselves. There are patterns everywhere! They spotted patterns in nature, in our classroom and even at home. We spent the week discussing patterns, making patterns and even challenging ourselves to come up with more difficult patterns.
The children created patterns from foam fruit. We loved overhearing them repeat their patters. “Broccoli, eggplant, banana, grape! Broccoli, eggplant, banana, grape!” “Pear, strawberry, eggplant! Pear, strawberry, eggplant!” We discussed how a pattern always tells us what comes next. We love when we walk to the yard and we hear a voice say, “I spotted a pattern!” They also made pattern necklaces with their names in beads. They used plastic needles to string their beaded pattern. This is one way to strengthen their fine motor skills. Then the letters of their name followed. They were so proud when they were able to find the letters on their own for their necklace. Talk to them at home about the patterns you notice there. They will be so proud to share what they have learned.
