Practice report of “The summer evening breeze event · Tanabata concert” for infants & parents　～A discussion about cross-curriculum-learning by students～

Abstract

The School for Children’s Education established in April, 2018, organized the traditional Tanabata event for infants & parents, who have been using KSU Child-Rearing Support Center opened at the same time as the school, and local residents. We devised this event as a place for infants & parents and students where they mingle with each other and enjoy the event together, for the purpose of mutual developments and intergenerational exchanges among them. We report how students deepened their learning through their one-and-a-half-month effort such as meetings, preparations, and practices and then consider the ingenuity and challenges about future supports for students and child rearing.
