The Drum Making Unit is coming along fantastically. We have soaked, scraped, and stretched the hide over the last 2 weeks. Students have been given the opportunity to try each stage. Some students have been more willing than others!!
The hides will be ready to cut for drums by next week. We will be using our "Area of Circle" math to determine how many drums we can make out of each hide. We will also be studying the methods of the Aboriginal Peoples and what they did to determine how many drums could be made out of a hide.
Stay tuned for an update on this new adventure in the new curriculum! To see pictures of what we are doing, click here. You will need the site password to enter. Just ask your child for the password!
