What is a pattern?- Repeating the same thing over and over! We have had lots of practice with AB patterns but today we are going to try some other kinds of patterns too!
TIME TO DANCE!!!!
Ask your child what kind of patterns they heard in the song?
Snack time!
You will need at least 3 different snacks (Examples: goldfish, chocolate chips, marshmallows, raisins, grapes, apples, cheese, nuts, animal Crackers, etc.)
Start by making an AB pattern with your snack
Lets make more patterns- Can you make an AABB pattern? An ABB or AAB pattern? An ABC pattern?
Now that you have 3 or 4 patterns lets sort your snack- Can you think of different ways to sort them?
