| Emily's pattern |
This morning at breakfast, the kids started playing with their food. It was Annie's Bunny Cereal, just like yesterday. Have I mentioned they love this cereal? For some reason, Kyle especially, prefers his cereal without milk - which doesn't make sense since he LOVES milk, but I supposed he's more of a purist when it comes to milk, he likes it just plain. Now I know in preschool, they work on making patterns with blocks. When I've been in the classroom, they work on ABAB and AABBAABB patterns. This morning, it was fun to see them create their own patterns as they went along. Kyle created an ABCABC pattern and Emily created her ABBABBABBA pattern. It's an interesting lesson on many levels: (1) fine motor skill with object manipulation, (2) pattern recognition and creation, and (3) symbolically labeling the pattern to name just a few.

Needless to say, this is a great case for playing with your food!
