A short week after the Thanksgiving Day long weekend but a busy one!

In Math, we continue to dig deeper with the focus on looking at visual patterns and writing a pattern rule based on the attributes that are changing.

Our goal was to change and explain 2 changing attributes in our patterns but many of the children were able to create and extend visual patterns with 3 changing attributes. Ask your child what another word for 'direction' may be.

Here is a game taken from Math Up that you can play with your child to reinforce what we have been learning about patterns.

Talking about attributes in Math goes hand in hand about talking about attributes in Language. We have directed our focus on an important reading strategy called VISUALIZATION. We have been using our 5 senses to talk about adjectives. 

This is a work in progress. More to come soon!
