Sometimes the patterns we see repeat and don't ever stop. Have you ever noticed that? Things like day and night, days of the week, seasons in a year, and so on. Can you think of anymore looping patterns that we can teach indi?

Objectives

• I can identify patterns that repeat or loop.

• I can make patterns that loop.

Preparation
