Light a Candle for Peace, Light a Candle for Love…
Sing Peace Around the World…
…And sing we did! Today we celebrated International Peace Day with our annual assembly during which we sang together, listened as students read aloud from The Peace Book by Todd Parr, and organized ourselves into an all-school Peace Walk. We were joined by Laura W.’s twins, which was an extra special treat! After the Peace Walk, our students returned to their classrooms for some other group activities. With our daily curricular focus on the Montessori concepts of Grace, Courtesy, and Respect, this day is an important one here. It provides a great opportunity for us to dive deeper into the meaning and importance of peace in our individual lives, our school, and the world. This year, we added one new component into our celebration, a all-school project which will hang in our lobby. Inspired by the words ‘When you close our eyes and think of peace, what do you see?’students were asked to write their thoughts on sticky notes stay tuned for the result of this collaborative effort…and a special thanks to Ms. Kristin L for putting it all together.
