One of the ways I like to connect with families is to ask parents, at the beginning of the year or during parent/teacher conferences, to write their hope and dream for their child (for their Kindergarten experience).  This are displayed in the form of a chandelier.  Each child chooses and adds a peace bead to the chandelier.  In the future I plan to add the student's hopes and dreams to a ribbon also.  Here are the creations we've made so far.

This is the chandelier in progress at open house night.  This one uses a quilting hoop as the base or anchor.

The ribbons are attached to a piece of cactus wood I was given.
