Drum.....

Drums are percussion instruments that create sounds by pounding on them. In the past, most drums were made with animal skin stretched over a hollowed-out wooden shell. Some of the oldest drums came from China and much of the drum knowledge and rhythms came from Africa. Drums have been used for communication and celebrations. 
They created their own drum using paper plate, beads and a straw.  
They wrote their names and then we clapped out their names!  I demonstrated how to clap the syllables in all our names, then they gave it a try! We played a matching game, finding all the matching instruments. 
For fine motor, they cut up paper and glued in their journals.
