Every year my kindergartners work on patterning.
I have my kiddos build different patterns on the rug, and then I have them move the pattern to form a circle. This reinforces that the pattern must continue uninterrupted. You would be surprised how many kid really don't get that concept.
After we build our patterns in a circle I then send them to their desks and they rebuild that same pattern using paper pattern block pieces. Luckily my school has a die cut machine with these shapes so prepping them is very easy. We glue these to construction paper and that becomes a turkey tail.
We finish the turkeys by gluing on a turkey body, legs, eyes and a beak. They alway turn out so cute!
The last part of the project is to count the shapes that we used and add them up.
