Workshop- Discovering and Creating Patterns- Sarah Hadfield & Cynthia Jacobson

 Discovering & Creating Patterns- Sarah Hadfield & Cynthia Jacobson

Workshop Description:

Join us in the fresh, open air as we take you through a typical math lesson in our outdoor, multi-age classroom. We will be identifying, creating, and extending patterns using found materials to demonstrate just how this is done in a multi-age setting. To reflect on what we have learned, we will be creating watercolour paintings of our patterns. Outcomes from the K-3 Math and Visual Arts curricula will be targeted to make this a practical lesson for any Early Years educator.

This workshop is best suited for:Preschool (2-6 years), School-age (6-12 years)

This workshop will be offered: Saturday PM
