We had a busy and full day of learning!
We read, We Are in a Book, by Mo Willems. Mo's style, as an author, is to use a lot of speech bubbles! We saw that Braylee used speech bubbles in her writing and we think we can try too!
In math, we started doing some movement patterns...like snap/clap/snap/clap. I asked the kids to see if they could join in with me and they could! We talked about how the movement was repeating over and over again. I asked them if they knew what this was called in math and they said, "Repeating, copying, copy cat." Haha. So cute! I introduced the word 'pattern' with a bubble graph and the kids helped me fill it in with EVERYTHING they know about patterns. They did pretty well!!
This was our first word bank for math. We talked about the learning word, pattern.
Will really stumped us today with this pattern: brown brown yellow yellow.
About half of our friends thought it was not a pattern because it had two colors in a row.
I kept repeating the definition: A pattern has a unit that repeats over and over and then they figured it out!

We had a special visitor come today! Piggy and Elephant left us reading pointers!!!!! There was a secret note on the door when we came in from recess!
