\nSo, if any of you have been following my blog right from day 1, you might remember that my VERY FIRST blog post on Fun With Firsties was all about our Pattern Party<\/a>!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nWell, it was such a hit that I brought back the pattern party for it’s second year!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe got the party rolling by making edible pattern bracelets with Fruit Loops and Twizzlers. And there was definitely more eating than patterning going on…I may have been guilty of this, too.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen we rotated through 4 different pattern centres in our table groups:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAt the first centre, the kiddies got to make their own pattern crowns using stickers and stamps:<\/div>\n
\n(I wish I got a picture at the end of the day; they were all too stinkin’ cute in their pattern crowns!)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nCute story:<\/b> at this centre, while licking and sticking stamps, one little cutie decided to share with us that “my mom doesn’t let me lick things at home, which is crazy because I just love licking things!” HA!<\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAt the second centre, they made patterns with play-doh and cookie cutters:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe third centre functioned like a “free choice” centre. The kiddies could choose from a variety of math manipulatives (snap cubes, animals, keys, pattern blocks, and beads)<\/i>\u00a0to sort or build patterns:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd finally, at the fourth centre, they got to make pattern strips using popcorn kernels and dried split peas (a lovely fall colour combo, I might add!)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn addition to our pattern party during our end-of-day math block, the kiddies also came dressed in patterns (as you may have noticed in some of the pics above!)<\/i>\u00a0and had the opportunity to bring in a small patterned object to share with the class. And with that,\u00a0pattern party part 2 was another huge success! We wore patterns, shared patterns, made patterns, and ate a whole lot of patterns. Sugar ’em up, and send ’em home! …you’re welcome moms and dads \ud83d\ude09<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOn another note, I am super excited to whip out some of the literacy centre activities from my new Everything Autumn<\/a> pack next week. In the upcoming weeks we will have a fall week (this week),<\/i>\u00a0Thanksgiving week, pumpkin week, spider week, and Halloween week…and all of the resources I will need are now featured in this one HUGE pack!<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWoohoo! *150* <\/b>pages of hands-on literacy centre activities!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n…on the flip side, it looks like I’ll be laminating and cutting all weekend…<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHere’s a small peek at what’s included:<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nHappy fall ya’ll!!! Have a great weekend \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
