FUN WITH WINDCHIMES!
We really enjoyed having fun with wind chimes today in music class!
I made a string of wind chimes using plastic boomwhackers, metal xylo-tubes, small wind chimes and bamboo wind chimes! We hung up the strip in the toddler classroom for the infants and on the playground for the twos and toddlers. It was fun to explore the different tones by hitting them gently with wooden rhythm sticks, and we were even able to play a tune or two!
Due to the holiday weekend, classes normally held on Monday (three's and four's music) will be moved to Wednesday morning. We are looking forward to learning all about chimes together in the dome play yard. Make sure to check out the extender questions below so you can "chime" in on your child's musical learning! =)
