Carribbean Day

Drums are an important part of life and ceremony in many cultures. Here is a simple method for you and your students to create a fun sounding drum as you celebrate the cultures of the world.

What You Need:

* An empty coffee can with a plastic lid (small, large, whatever you have).
* Construction paper, glue & scissors.
* Paint or markers.
* Paintbrushes & water.
* Dowels or sticks from trees in the park.
* String, leather, feathers, beads ... any bits of scrap material you might have.

What You Do:

1. You have two options here. Either paint the coffee can with paint or cover the can with construction paper. Leave the plastic lid on the coffee can ... this will be your drum head.
2. If you cover the coffee can with construction paper, you can paint or draw designs and creatures on the coffee can. Have a look at pictures of different kinds of drums and the images found on them. (Try covering the can with aluminum foil for a neat effect.)
3. After the paint is dry, you can glue all sorts of wonderful things to your drum.
4. Using wooden dowels or simply wooden sticks, drum away on your new coffee can drum.

Memorial Day

Children will color the flag using red and blue crayons appropriately.

Measurement Day

When teaching measurement to young children provide lots of opportunities for the students to order objects by size. Use everyday activities and real objects to help children understand measurement concepts.

The terms non-standard and standard are often used when describing prescribed learning outcomes for measurement.

Measuring with non-standard units means measuring things with blocks, pencils, hands, feet, etc. As long as the items used to measure with are all the same size, e.g. identical blocks or brand new pencils, they are suitable to use.

Circus Day

Children will gain experience in handling a brush and paint and by repeating simple shapes, students will create pattern. Students will demonstrate awareness of emotion by creating "sad" and "happy" faces.

# back construction paper
# White crayon
# Colored glitter

On the black paper students will draw circles (to eventually become happy/sad faces of clowns) using a white crayon.
Once the face is complete the child will add details using glue, finally finishing by sprinkling glitter.

Relative's Day

Child will be read "The Day the Relative's Came", discussing the story and members of the family.
Child will create a 'family tree' using photographs.
