=**Music : Starting on March 5th we will be exploring music and instruments from Africa.**=
 * March 5**- Exploring African instruments- we will look at various instruments from Africa and talk about what they are made of (wood, metal, gourds, animal skins for drum heads, shells and seeds on some rattles). We will read a short book about the **Shekere** (shay-ka-ray), which is a instrument made from a **GOURD** that has a net of string and beads or shells wrapped around it.

"Safari Counting Book"- Children and their mothers see different animals on a safari. **Leopard**, **ostrich**, giraffes, lions, hippos, **wildebeest**, zebras, **warthog**, monkeys, elephants.
 * March 7**- "Jambo"- Jambo means hello in Swahili. The to the song are "**Jambo Sana**", which means "hello everybody". Since the song is not in English it might be good to talk about **DIFFERENT LANGUAGES** so Zavier is aware that he should not understand what the words mean in this song.


 * March 8-** "Che Che Kule". We will learn this song and dance from Ghana. The students have to echo the words and actions after the teacher does them. This song is again not in English.
