Bells, Bells, Bells...

 
​We've been interested in bells since the beginning when we first heard the bell in the bell tower sound and ring. Around that time, we brought in a varied collection of bells to explore. And we're back at it! Engaging  with each bell, one at a time, to better understand the bell(s) and identify them. The best part is the enthusiasm, joy, and sustained interest that the children are contributing to the bell sounds and shapes!
