Celebrating International Peace Day

Students in Room 112 celebrated International Peace Day by holding hands, praying, and sharing their words of peace with each other.

Our class read ‘Peace Is A Bright Delight’ by Gay Montague and Erin Wise and ‘The Peace Book’ by Todd Parr. These stories helped build ideas for the students’ ‘Peace Bricks’.

After listening to the stories, students created ‘Peace Bricks’. They colored symbols and wrote how they show peace to others. 

Each brick symbolized the individual promise students made in order to ensure peace both inside and outside our classroom.

Students attached their bricks to a tri-fold and signed their name above the ‘Peace Bricks’.

The ‘Peace Wall’ stands in our classroom for all to see. It is a commitment to the promise of peace in room 112 and Metro Catholic School.

Erupting Volcanoes!

The students in room 112 learned about volcanoes, volcanic ash, and how they help form and change our land.

Using modeling clay and plastic cups, students created their very own erupting volcanoes.

By mixing baking soda, dishwasher detergent, vinegar, and food coloring, students were able to make their volcanoes erupt.
