(KG) Creating patterns in a mosaic style

For this project we read the book: Pattern Fish written by Trudy Harris and illustrated by Anne Canevari Green. We looked at the different pattern on the fish. "Yellow-black, Yellow- black. A fish swims in the ocean. It has stripes upon its back. Yellow- black. Yellow- black, yellow..." We discussed how an ABC pattern always has three different things in it. An AB pattern has two colors that repeat. Looking at the pictures of the book the students had to identify the ABC and the AB pattern.

We cut colorful paper into different sizes in order to create the patterns in our fish.
We used different templates to draw our favorite  fish.
Some students were more interested than others in creating a pattern. We completed our project by using liquid water colors for the background.
