International Day of Peace in our Dual Language Classrooms

October 3, 2022
September 21 is known as the International Day of Peace. Declared by the United Nations General Assembly, it is a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace around the world. At Greenspring Montessori School, students in our Dual Language classrooms joined together to celebrate this special day with music and wishes for peace. Together they sang “Paz Como Río/Peace Like a River” and “Paz y Libertad/Peace and Liberty”. Lower Elementary students also shared some remarks about the meaning of peace.
 
Sra. Ale has been giving lessons to the Dual Language classrooms about paz/peace and helping the children make Pinwheels for Peace.

“We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are a part of the universe, and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.” 

— Maria Montessori
