Our Gift to the World

My grade 3/4 class in Fredericton New Brunswick, Canada often have discussions about what peace means and where it can be found. Most students in the class believe peace can be achieved through kindness and acceptance. They then thought of a great idea (with a Christmas influence) of how to show kindness to the Earth by giving it a gift. We displayed these gifts on ornaments created by the students to decorate our class tree. On one side of the ornaments the students drew a picture of the planet Earth. On the other side they drew a picture of what they would give the world if they could give it one gift. I was blown away by how considerate and kind the students are! Here are some pictures of us decorating it and some pictures of the ornaments.
