October 5-9, 2020

This week in Pre-K, we focused on patterns during our Morning Meeting. The boys and girls learned that patterns are groups of things that repeat by following a rule. They learned that when they try to continue a pattern, they need to predict what comes next based on what they already know. First, they practiced naming and continuing patterns I showed them. Then, they worked on their own!


We made a pattern out of our classmates.



We used the Pink Tower and Brown Stair to build patterns.





We found some patterns in our classroom.

Luke and Ava found a color pattern
on the calendar.

Charlie made a pattern with Halloween erasers.


We even drew some patterns in our journals.







See if you can find some patterns at home!

Greyson went on a walk with his mom and 
they found a pattern in a flower garden.

Other news:
  • This week, we participated in The Hartford's Junior Fire Marshal Program. The students learned about fire safety, smoke alarms, and the importance of making an escape plan. I am sending home some activity sheets for you to complete as a family if interested.
  • There is no school on Monday, October 12.
  • There will be no show and tell next week. Our next show and tell will be on Tuesday, October 20. The topic will be something that begins with the /t/ sound.
