Miss "N" wanted to make another decoration for the tree, today. I suggested choosing a different pattern than the one she made last time. This time, she made an ABB pattern. Notice the large, small, small, bead pattern. Another student noticed this and made an AABB pattern but changed her mind, took it apart and strung a variety of beads. The end product did not show a pattern, but she obviously had understood the idea of patterning. This demonstrates that you cannot always look at the end product to show evidence of learning.
