Things to Do at Home
Help your child identify patterns in their
environment.
*A pattern is only a pattern if it is
repeated twice.
*The easiest patterns are those
involving two colors or variables (for
example, red, blue, red, blue), referred
to as an AB,AB pattern. More complex
patterns include ABC,
ABC; AABB,AABB; AAB,AAB; ABB,
ABB; and ABCD,ABCD.
*Be sure to give your child the
opportunity to “read” his pattern when
it is complete. This will allow him the
opportunity to fix any misplaced
objects in his pattern.
You are always welcome to our classroom
to read a book or have lunch. Also, the
observation room is open daily from 7am5pm.
This Week
We will continue our theme about “Me and My
Family”. We will also begin patterning. Assist
your child in finding patterns in their
environment (patterns on clothing, shoes, food
displays, etc.) Please continue to send in
environmental print. The students love
“reading” their words.
Next Week
Our theme will be “Apples”. We will be doing
many activities with apples and would love
donations of red, yellow, and green apples.
Thank you!
We will continuously be working on name
recognition, class routines, fine motor skills, and
language skills.
