"The United Nations International Day of Peace, September 21, provides an opportunity for all humanity to come together, in spirit and in action, to forward the ideals of and conditions for peace. This global day is observed by hundreds of millions of citizens in cities, towns, and villages worldwide as well as citizens and governments, organize and engage in diverse peace-related activities on and around this global day." - http://internationaldayofpeace.org/
Peace education is very important to those of us at CJFS and today we celebrated by talking about what peace means to us, what it feels like, sounds like and looks like. We brainstormed and came together to share our ideas and reasonings as to why we wish to live and learn in a peaceful environment and how we are working to achieve peacefulness in our classroom and in our school.
To us peace looks and sounds like many things, here are some of the wonderful ideas we came up with:
What does peace feel
like?
- People feel happy when it
is peaceful.
- Calm.
- Relaxed.
What does
peace look like?
- No one is fighting.
- People are focused.
- People are compromising.
- People are understanding
each other.
-
What does peace sound like?
- A whisper.
- No screaming and yelling.
- Normal.
- Calm and quiet.

After we talked with our peers and teachers we got to sit at our tables and write about what peace means to each of us personally. We all agreed that being peaceful mostly means showing respect and kindness to others and doing our best to make the world a better place, not just today but everyday.
Peace and love,
Room 7 & 8
