Last month, I demonstrated how to make your own Pattern Pull. I have to report on my experiences with it since...
This year, my son is participating in a preK/K co-op. When I taught, I introduced the Pattern Pull to this group of 4 & 5-year-olds. You should have heard the squeals and excitement!!! They were ecstatic...so thrilled to guess what would come out of the sleeve next. Each time, I'd tease them by VERY. VERY. SLOWLY. pulling the pattern out. It could have been Christmas morning for the excitement they showed. If you have preK-2nd graders, this is such a great, cheap, easy math activity. When I finished with the group session, I gave the kids access to the materials during "choice time."
Can't recommend this highly enough! :)
Hello, I am a new follower. I'm a preschool teacher and would be so happy if you get a chance to check out my blog as well. I love your pattern pull idea! Will probably be linking up to your math monday sometime :) Thanks
