PEACE BUILDERS

For the fast approaching Peace Day, January 30th, Tara and I have been speaking with the children about
What builds peace?
How do we acquire peace?
and the opposite,
What breaks peace up?
How do we lose peace?

5th & 6th graders have brainstormed concepts and ideas resulting in a lovely display of
Peacebuilders:
kindness, collaboration, hugs, respect, friendship, truth, sharing, patience, caring, smiles and friendship
and Peacebreakers:
selfishness, bullying, racism, rudeness, fear, ignoring others, killing, lying, violence and rejection

Meanwhile, 1st & 2nd graders continue enjoying class with their best friends and have completed their Peace Day badges, odorned with the symbol of a white dove.

Here are some photos of our fun class!

At the same time, we brushed up on our interviewing skills:
Ian, who are your best friends???

Mariña, who are your best friends???

Marcos, who are your best friends?

Here Mariña has her peace dove decorated with flowers, only waiting to complete it with tissue paper wings!

Singing along

Sing out along this so lovely song 'I wanna be like you'

We're getting ready to the play that will take place on March on the previous book.

Here is a video to have our young artists draw their own Baloo!

DRAW BALOO

BE A GOOD FRIEND

BE A GOOD FRIEND

New Year's resolutions.

Why don't we focus on friendship?

In mutual affection between people.

First graders were telling who their best friends are.

Then Tara and I propose them to draw themselves and their best friends around.

This is how it went.

Take part of the performance "War & Peace"

Most awesome song about friendship by Bruno Mars.

Now just sing with the lyrics support.

This peace song is a funny way to develop children awareness of what peace means .
