Pancakes, Picture Day, and Patterns
This Friday is Meet the Teacher Pancake Breakfast. Please come to the school for pancakes anytime between 7:30am and 8:50am. After you have had your pancakes please stop by the classroom to say hello! As we are such a big school we would appreciate it if you brought your own plate and cutlery.
Our Picture Day will be Tuesday September 22nd. If your child will be away that day for any reason please let us know as the photographers will also be in the building on the Monday.
We have really been enjoying learning about patterns. On Monday we worked in stations building patterns out of a variety of elements (the actual objects used in the pattern). We built patterns while thinking about the different attributes that could change. We built patterns where the colour changed, the thickness of an element changed, the shape changed, the position of the element changed, and even the size changed. As you look at the patterns on this page ask your child to tell you what the core of each pattern is and what attribute or attributes are changing in the pattern.
We really enjoyed all the stations, but overall the favourite was using the SMARTBoard to extend the patterns!
Enjoy the pictures! Hope to see you at the pancake breakfast!
