We started our week with the video “Peace Today” in celebration of UN International Day of Peace, Sept. 21, 2009. The students are writing stories and poems about peace, and will begin artwork as well. We continue our on going discussion about peace and how we can make contributions and become peacemakers in our homes, neighborhoods, classroom, school, and ultimately the world.

I think that the international day of peace id a great idea and a good way to keep kids focussed while letting their minds soar.
I’m really looking forward to learning more about your Day of Peace activities! Thanks for the link to the Peace Today movie.
