Note on home from the email update: This weekend their homework is to make a 'ABC and AABB' pattern in their agenda. We have talked about patterns in class and I would like them to practice this at home.
An example of these patterns would be: *&^*&^*&^*&^*&^ (3 parts that repeat) and $$##$$##$$##$$##(4 parts that repeat).
