Abstract
With more children enrolled in prekindergarten programs and state academic kindergarten standards becoming more prevalent, expectations for both kindergarten children and their teachers have risen (Graue 2006). Since 2001-02 the total enrollment for state-funded prekindergartens has increased by 73 percent for 4-year-olds and 45 percent for 3-year-olds. Last week their teacher, Mrs. Wasserman, introduced the idea of AABB patterning to the class with a game that involved stacking color blocks, followed by a guided discovery lesson on creating AABB train cars with Unifix cubes. [...] Mrs. Wasserman has reinforced the notion of patterning through a variety of engaging and enjoyable experiences, such as organizing the children in AABB patterns of boyboy-girl-girl.
