Using tissue paper collage, Kindergarten teacher Andrea Patel created this work of art with her students in 2005, many of whom are currently in Sixth Grade. Each child wrote the word “peace” in a different language, and the Earth was decorated with white peace doves. Every year since then, each kindergarten class has added new expressions of peace, in different languages, to their “peaceful world.” The children express greetings to one another in these languages during their December Morning Meetings. Now there are 55 different languages represented in the work of seven different kindergarten classes!
Thank you for sharing your children and your dreams for them with all of us at Berkshire Country Day School. On behalf of the faculty and staff at BCD, I send best wishes to everyone for joyful holidays, a relaxing vacation, and a peaceful New Year! We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012.
