On March 17th our students continued exploring the idea of peace and principle 6: Work for a peaceful world. All the children started their morning listening for “answers blowing in the wind,” and then our 3rd-5th grade class and 6th-8th grade class enjoyed the program in the sanctuary. Stacey Broughman and Dick Beeman discussed the power of song to inspire and sustain protest movements throughout American history.
The Pre-K and K-2nd grade classes combined and read “Where the Wild Things Are.” Then they discussed how it feels to be frustrated, expressing your frustration, and still not necessarily getting your way. Creating Wild Thing puppets provided lots of fun and was followed by a wild rumpus and plenty of stomping around.
