Musical Instruments is the theme of our March Unit. We are learning about the different ways to make music, and also where we can hear nature's own music in the world around us. We're having a great time keeping the beat, listening to the rhythm, moving to the music and playing instruments. We work together as a team for our "parade," and we love taking turns so we can listen to our fellow musicians!
