Peace Project

You may have read the letter or seen the envelope that came home in your child's green folder last week. These letters from Mrs. Kane tell about the Peace Project that all of UES will be taking part in.  Before the art project that will be done during our scheduled Art class on Monday, students began brainstorming what peace is.  Using their five senses, students explored what peace feels like, looks like, tastes like, smells like, and sounds like.  After a whole class brainstorming session, we read the book, What Peace Feels Like that explores the five senses and peace from the perspective of children. The book was actually written by a group of elementary school aged children.  Following this reading, students wrote their own poems using their five senses to describe peace.  Students can't wait to begin their peace tile. If there are materials they would like to bring in from home for this project please see the envelope for ideas and have materials in by Monday.
