This Friday, September 21st is International Peace Day and one of our fourth grade teachers, Scott, would like to bring a global perspective into his classroom. We hope you and your class can help!

Scott has written a post on his classroom blog requesting that students and teachers around the world comment on what peace looks and feels like in your country.

We would love it if you could allow your students some time in your day today (Thursday for students in the US, since Thailand is about 12 hours ahead) to leave a comment for Scott’s class. In the name field, please have students write their name and the country they are writing from (for example: Kim from Thailand). All students, no matter what age group, are welcome to comment, along with their teachers!

This will be the first time that our fourth graders have had a chance to experience the power of the web, please take a moment to show them just how connected we all are! Remember, the first step toward peace one day is intercultural understanding – let’s get our students together, thinking about how we can take action for peace!
