Over the course of several meetings, we prepared for the UN International Day of Peace. We began by discussing the children's understanding of the word peace. We read and discussed stories and passages from books about peace (resources listed below). We decorated hand held peace doves to share at a Peace Day celebration and practiced singing Raffi's R&S theme song to sing there. The books we used included:
(1)Peace begins with you / Katherine Scholes ; illustrated by Robert Ingpen.
(2)The Big book for peace / edited by Ann Durell and Marilyn Sachs ; written by Lloyd Alexander ... [et al.] ; illustrated by Thomas B. Allen ... [et al.].
(3)My wish for tomorrow : words and pictures from children around the world / a collaboration between Jim Henson Publishing and the United Nations ; foreword by Nelson R. Mandela ; introduction by Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
