Dr. Maria Montessori promoted peace education as an integral part of her innovative curriculum and was herself twice nominated for the Nobel Prize of Peace. For one of the celebrations our students created a Peace Banner using paint and their sweet handprints. They also tied white and yellow ribbons along the fence and wore white ribbons with a dove to symbolize peace all day! All our classrooms have been setting up and establishing our classroom "Peace Tables" which is a place where students can go to relax, calm down, learn about peace and people who have promoted world peace, resolve problems with each other, etc. We can feel the shift into a peaceful energy and community as we work towards nurturing peace in our school everyday!
