Let there be peace by making the world a better and more sustainable place for all.

The International Day of Peace is Sept. 21. Tell the world you support #peace by posting on the #PeaceDay hashtag!
Last Friday, September 21, marked the occasion of International Peace Day. As peace is an everyday component of our Montessori classroom, I wanted to be sure to mark this special event with a meaningful activity. We read the book, Peace Begins With Me, a wonderfully simple representation of how peace begins with each of us - a perfect introduction for our new classmates and a pleasant reminder for returning children. Available from Montessori Services. We talked about the dove as a symbol of peace and I showed a prepared canvas with an outline of a peace dove. This, I explained, is going to be our classroom symbol of peace and each child can make a promise for peace within oneself and with each other by placing a series of thumbprints inside the peace dove. Each child's name is written underneath and after they have made their promise for peace, they make one more thumbprint above their name. I saw this idea on Pinterest last year, and knew it would be the ideal group project at the beginning of the year. What a beautiful way to encourage the formation of our classroom culture while celebrating Peace Day! Our book and canvas. As the children arrived in the morning, I had them come to table where I had set up the canvas with a selection of paints. Each time, a small gathering of children came to watch as their classmate made a "promise for peace" and made their thumbprints in the peace dove and above their name. It was heartwarming to hear others remark, "Thank you for your promise for peace," as each child finished. Promises for Peace There are no words for such beauty!
Let there be peace by making the world a better and more sustainable place for all.
World Peace Day is on September 21 and during that whole week, we celebrate Peace Week. Since it is towards the beginning of the school year, what a perfect time to highlight a great topic
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The United Nation General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. As posted in the July 2012 PEACE FELT blogpost, I have participated in the Peace Felt 2012 exchange event. There are over hundred of felters coming from 20 countries around the world going to join! Canada Australia United Kingdom United States Iraq Norway England Ireland Netherlands Israel New Zealand Scotland Czech Republic Hong Kong Russia Northern Ireland Mexico Wales Belgium Italy How Peace Felt works? "Sending out works of PEACE FELT during September will result in these handcrafted works of art creating an energetic circle of peace and loving kindness around the planet as they travel from one heart to the next." This is my contribution for this Peace Felt exchange. It will be sent to Michigan, US to a lovely lady who is very active into Peace Group. When I first work on the design, I want to make a fashion statement piece because my FELTasticFashion background & I was thinking about the Olympic Ring colors."...the six colours [including the flag’s white background] thus combined reproduce the colours of all the nations, with no exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the tri- colours of France, England and America, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, the yellow and red of Spain next to the novelties of Brazil or Australia, with old Japan and new China. Here is truly an international symbol." - August, 1912 edition of Olympique by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. I hope my receiving partner will Love It. & Treasure It. ~ PEACE ON EARTH ~
