Percussion Instruments Study: Table of Contents
Why Investigate Percussion Instruments?
The Table of Contents provides an introduction to what is included in the Teaching Guide.
The highlighted text indicates the sample resources found in this touring guide. The Teaching
Guide provides all the information needed to go step-by-step and day-by-day through the entire
study: background information to get started, preparatory resources to help begin the study and
explore the topic, daily guidance for investigations, and suggestions on how to celebrate and
close the experience.
At the start of every study is a “Why Investigate…?” section that provides context. All the
study topics in The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten—percussion instruments, seeds,
architecture, sports, the grocery store—are topics that already interest students and are familiar to
them. This is one of the major distinguishing features of The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten.
The study topics are relevant to, rather than removed from, everyday lives of students, so students
can build on what they know and manipulate real objects as they explore a topic of great interest.
