    As children progress through the Kindergarten program, they:
    recognize, explore, describe, and compare patterns, and extend, translate, and create them, using the core of a pattern and predicting what comes next

    1.2 listen and respond to others, both verbally and non-verbally
    11.10  retell information from non-fiction materials that have been read by and with the educator team in a variety of contexts

    Can you think of your own bug pattern for your favourite bug?
     Here is mine: I want to "Zing zing zoom" like a dragon-fly]]>     2020-07-12 14:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652631577     Lining-up Procedure cynthiaroth https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652636472 Assign each student to be one of three bugs: dragon fly, lady bug, or bumble bee, then have students line up creating an ABC pattern. ]]> 2020-07-12 14:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652636472 Outdoor Education: Create a pattern using nature cynthiaroth https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652638193 1-Choose a patterning rule (e.g.,AB or ABC) 
    2-Create a pattern following your rule
    3-Explain your patterning rule using letters (e.g., AB, ABB)

    Differentiate: Provide student with a blank AB patterning template to be filled in with nature objects. 

    Bump it up: 
    1-Can you extend your pattern by adding another attribute?
    2-Can you explain your patterning rule using numerals?]]>     2020-07-12 14:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652638193     Outdoor Education Fence Weaving cynthiaroth https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652640510 Does anyone notice a pattern in this picture? What would be a rule for this pattern?

    Examples: 
    1-Over, Over, Under, 
    2-A,A,B
    3-1,1,2

    Let's create a pattern by weaving ribbons into the fence. 
    1-Choose a patterning rule
    2-You can weave in any direction (e.g., vertically, horizontally, diagonally, spiral)
    3-Explain your patterning rule.

    Differentiate: Provide a picture of a simple AB pattern for a student to emulate. 

    Bump it up: Can you make your patterning rule more complex by adding another attribute? ]]>     2020-07-12 15:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652640510     Messy Math cynthiaroth https://padlet.com/cynthiaroth/9p4epufw72pbkjfs/wish/652644631 By: Juliet Robertson
