Pattern Math Stations and Nursery Rhymes!

The following pictures are math stations students are currently completing:

At this station students first make a pattern with the crayon cards.  After making their pattern, students copy the pattern onto their paper.  This station is from the School is Fun Unit on Teachers Pay Teachers  by Deanna Jump and Julie Lee.  

At this station students completed a pattern book.  Students made the pattern with pattern blocks and then colored the pattern in their book.  They also labeled the pattern with letters (AB, ABB, etc.)  This book is from Fran Kramer at Kindergarten Crayons.

At this station students made a pattern using the pattern cards and unifix cubes.  First students selected a pattern card.  Next, they made the pattern using the cubes.  Finally, they copied the pattern onto their paper.  

  The pattern cards can be found on Jessica Meacham's website www.jmeacham.com. 

At this station students completed the school pattern book.

First students completed the pattern using the pattern pictures pictured above.  These pattern cards are from the School is Fun Unit on Teachers Pay Teachers by Deanna Jump and Julie Lee.  

Then students made their own school pattern using the book and pictures above.  This book is also from Fran Kramer at Kindergarten Crayons.

This week's nursery rhyme activities:

Every week we have been learning to recite a different nursery rhyme.  This week students learned to recite One, Two, Buckle my Shoe.  We do many activities with our nursery rhyme each week.  Here are two activities students completed this week:

Students sequenced the nursery rhyme using numbers and pictures.   Students cut out and glued the pictures in order.  

We have learned four nursery rhymes so far this year.  We reviewed each of them and then students selected their favorite to draw on their paper.  After completing their picture the class formed a large circle on the carpet.  While sitting in a circle we formed a graph using our pictures.  We discussed which nursery rhyme had the most pictures and which nursery rhyme had the least.
