A New Way To Connect Our Students Around The World.... "Harmony Projects" Global Connections With Cantata Learning!


We have a very exciting announcement from Cantata Learning!  

It is called Harmony Projects and these are going to be wonderful global connections with Cantata Learning, children, teacher librarians, educators, families, publishers, writers, artists and others around the world.  

Harmony Projects will tie in literature, music and art, along with other core subjects such as math, science, social studies, and more.  Throughout the projects, students, libraries, classrooms, and communities will connect to others to collaborate, create, and share.  This will lead to rich learning experiences that our young people will remember and definitely lead to more of these projects and connections throughout the year. 
After we had such amazing success during our first global project Winter Around The World with over 250 schools connecting around the world, we decided to make these official and give these connections an official name....Harmony Projects

(You can read all about our first project, Winter Around the World, here.) 
You can find Harmony Projects on a new page on the Cantata Learning website.

This is where we will post information about current and past projects, tips for participating in these projects, and other fun information along the way.
I also added a Harmony Projects widget to the side of my blog.  All you have to click on the logo and it will take you to the page too.
You will find a place for Current Projects and right now we have a new global project called Celebrations Around the World.   
Using Cantata Learning's new Happy Birthday...Feliz Cumpleanos book and song for inspiration, you can gather your students together to share stories, songs, art work, recipes, decorations and other things to lift up all of the different events, special occasions and creativity that are celebrated around the world.

(To read and sing along with Happy Birthday...Feliz Cumpleanos, go to mycapstonelibrary.com with username happy and password birthday)
You will find everything you need for the Celebrations Around The World Global Project here.
And of course there is a place for Past Projects too.  
We are really excited for what these global connections with the Harmony Projects will bring and we can't wait for all of you to get involved too.

For now, please sign up to share your celebrations in the Celebrate Around the World project and follow our hashtag #harmonyprojects and the Cantata Learning blog for even more ideas, projects and exciting news throughout the year.
