Good Morning families!

For today’s activities we are going to look at math…. more specifically, making patterns! You can use just about anything you have at your house to do this. For example, you can use coins (quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies), colorful cereal (like Fruit Loops), crayons, toys… anything you can think of.

Start off by having your child make a simple pattern:

If a simple pattern is easy for your child, they can make a slightly more complex pattern:

After that, you can make it increasingly more complex per your child’s current ability level. If using crayons/markers… your child can create patterns on paper by drawing a circle of one color, then a circle of another color – and draw the pattern out. Don’t forget to send me pictures of your patterns!

Your child can also visit this website and play this pattern game online today: https://www.abcya.com/games/fuzz_bugs_patterns

To get some physical activity in, have your child follow along to this video…. we have done this lots of time in class so they are familiar with it.
