X is for Xylophone

At the beginning of the week, the children made the letter X by cutting out and pasting the X puzzles from education.com. Download it for free here.

At the end of the week, we made colorful xylophones with paper. I cut out strips of colored paper and the children assembled the xylophones themselves. It was good practice in ordering by length. They then took the thin brown strips of paper and cut out circles to make mallets. They then placed the mallets as they wished. They all came out really well :)
