What we are doing at Farmington, CT...
Here are some of the things our group from Noah Wallace School in Farmington CT, did during December to promote the spirit of peace that is a part of many December holidays.
We read books about being generous: Boxes for Katja by Candace Fleming, books about treating other people nicely: The Golden Rule by Ilene Cooper, and helping those in need: The Trees of Dancing Goats by Patricia Polacco. We brainstormed ways of bringing peace to the world and being peaceful with others and then 3rd and 4th graders traced their hands and wrote what kinds of things they will do to promote peace in the world.
