Everyone, Please Chime In!

We can all agree that the unofficial theme for Home Sweet Home 2011-2012 is "Making Beautiful Music Together". To continue developing our learning community, families are asked to partner to create the playground Music Garden Chime Frame. This is a Home-to-School Connection assignment for parents to facilitate over Spring Break or subsequent weekends.

Project: Two-three children from two-three families will make or purchase one set of chimes.

Exploring: Consciously listening to chime sounds to understand what individuals enjoy hearing.

Community: Gathering materials or purchasing chimes within our community empowers children to understand they have choices as a consumer.

Partnering: Families holding time and space to partner strengthens our larger preschool family - our choices are co-selected, co-owned, and appreciated by all.

Location: The children will present their choice at Sharing, explaining their decision. Chimes will then be hung on the shade frame outside.

Due Date: April 30, 2011
