stART

This week we are joining in a new McLinky called stART. You can find out more about it here.

We read The Cat in the Hat.

As Bear has been practicing ABABA patterning, I decided to use this book as an extension of this. I cut red and white strips of construction paper and Bear had to follow the pattern on the cat's hat as she glued them onto a piece shaped like a hat.

A very simple project. Not really art by my definition, but a literature connection nevertheless.

    I think it's pretty neat that you managed to link the hat to ABAB pattern. I would be able to recognize the hat too!

    This is a great idea! What a wonderful way to reinforce pattern skills, while using art to connect it with the story. Great Job!

    Actually, it was a very good idea. This is the kind of thing that D would enjoy doing!

    Great idea to work in patterning with the book! I'm jealous that she "gets" patterning. Matthew thinks it is just a line up of pretty much anything, forget the repeating part, lol. :)
