More Patterns...

I think we have patterns licked!
We are all master pattern builders!
Congratulations grade one..
Kiss your brain:)

Patterns with Nuts & Bolts

Some good old fashion nuts, bolts,
and washers to make patterns!
It was fun to play with these
 when we finished our patterns.
Some students were very creative
and made a pattern on a long bolt!
Impressive... brilliant pattern builders!
 


Fruit & Animal Patterns

We used fruits & farm animals to make patterns!
 

Team Patterns

We are great team players
so we worked together to
make a huge tower pattern!  

Sorting

Sorting is an important part of making patterns...
We are excellent sorters!
 
 
 

A Sticky Day

We practiced gluing with drip glue!
We learned a dab of glue will do,
that a glob is to much and
we might need a frame!
Great work Grade One:)
Miss McKinnon is very proud!
 
 

Movement Patterns

Last week we started our Pattern Unit.
We started by making a pattern
with three movements.
This was so fun and
we did a fantastic job!
Here are some videos... Enjoy:)

We have worked very hard and can stand in a nice, quiet, straight line!
Great work Grade One!

Brains thinking!
