Tip of the Week

Patterning and pattern-building is on of the most useful and most fun concepts to learn.
Patterns are used in math as well as reading and invite children to explore symmetry and multiplcation.

*Using yarn and pasta, string necklaces in a pattern (two penne, one wagon wheel, two penne...)

*Using colored "o" shaped cereal, make a necklace using color patterns, alternating colors. You can then eat the necklace!

*Place paper over an object with a raised pattern and rub a crayon over it to see the pattern on paper.
