Math Patterns

We continue to explore patterns. We looked at what kids of attributes patterns can have, where we see patterns in our world as well as in Nature. We explored this during our work period with Nomenclature cards and sketching techniques. Ask your child what kinds of patterns they can find on a calendar or in your own backyard!

Week at a Glance

  June 11     Math     We continued to discuss 3D objects this week. Some have sides, points and can roll and some objects don't! Ask your child if they can find a sphere, cube, cylinder or cone in your house.       We also revisited Patterns. The children were asked to fill in the missing shape in the pattern and then  colour  the AB, AAB or ABC pattern. Ask your child if they can see patterns anywhere at home as they are all around us!     Literacy     Lots of rhyming talk this week in our classroom. Children were asked to draw a picture of two rhyming words and then use their knowledge of letters and sounds to hear and record the dominate sound(s) in each word. Have fun practicing rhyming at home.       Upcoming Dates:     June 18 -  AM Kinders attend   June 24 – Last day of school for AM Kinders   June 25 - P M Kinders attend-last day of schoo l     Have a great weekend!     Michelle Romanko and Julie  Kawchuk
