This week is back to normal! Back to work, back to actual scheduled posts that follow my normal weekly plan. And back to a normal 3 weeks of school before Christmas break. HA!
My kiddos will be crazy these next 3 weeks and I am going to be prepared!
My stations for math are ready for at least then next 2 weeks and plans are set.
Luckily, we have some easy topics these next few weeks.
Patterns, Classification and Review.
Here are a few things I've done for patterns.
One of my first Scribd docs when I started my blog was a patterning game for the different units of study we did at the beginning of the year. So I've pulled that out of the archives and here you go.

We've been learning about patterns since the kiddos walked through the door in August. So the concept is not new to them. However, during our actual week of learning patterns, we break them down and call them by their names. AB, ABC, AAB, ABB, you get the idea. I made a recording sheet to see which patterns they truly understand and which ones need a little more work.
Create a Pattern
I have an evaluation a couple weeks ago and I made exit slips using patterns. Now, I use these anytime we are lining up, going back to our tables, dismissal, entering in the morning..whenever! Great little trick. However, I found one that I got a little cut and paste happy on and I didn't exactly edit my work..so if you find it..please do not leave a nasty comment that it's not pattern..just kindly throw it away and forgive my human error =)

Oh, another fun thing that I want to do this week is make some pattern strip books that Mrs. Fran at Kindergarten Crayons made way back in June. She's an awesome lady!
