Let There Be Peace

There have been lots of conversations about Remembrance Day. Thoughts about peace and war have been shared as well as so many good books have been read aloud. We were able to walk to the Cenotaph this week and enjoy the freedom and friendships we have. Mrs. Dent Scarcello came to our class to make peace beads. We worked together peacefully to make something beautiful. The beads will be hung up in the library.

We had a wonderful assembly this morning hosted by Ms. Jeffery's, Ms. Radawetz's and Ms. Booth's classes. We heard stories, poems and singing. The grades 2s and 3s did a terrific job performing
and the audience was very respectful. We talked before the assembly about what we could be thinking about during the moment of silence. It was a time of quiet reflection.

We are working on a book about Peace. Here are our thoughts:
