Making spatial patterns - Nicky : Commentary
Nicky has demonstrated an adequate level of competence in making spatial patterns. Two-part repeating patterns and one four-part repeating pattern have been created, and the results have been accurately recorded. A pattern has been created without the use of concrete materials. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing above the expected standard midway through Kindergarten.
