The idea of a word beginning with their names, actions and through stories. Breaking words into syllables by counting “claps” blending syllables to determine words.    Math:  General Outcome- I can demonstrate an understanding of repeating patterns (2 or 3 elements) by: identifying, reproducing, extending and creating patterns using manipulatives, sounds and actions.      Sorting and Patterning!   Children are learning to sort items based on a single attribute- size, shape, color, gender, clothing etc. We’ve been using groups of items to show how patterns are created using up to 3 elements.  The CORE is the part that repeats.  Using colors, actions, shapes, size, numbers, etc. to show various patterns with 2-3 differences, as well as story and song patterns. Play along with your child, what patterns can you find and create??? Happy Hallowe'en Trick or Treating!!
