Parliament Field Trip Photos

Our field trip to the Latvian parliament was wonderful. The kids learned so much from our wonderful guide and had so many fabulous questions to ask. I was in awe over the beauty of the building and the items within. I especially enjoyed searching through the "Gift Room" where countries have send gifts to Latvia. Overall it was a wonderful experience and a great connection to our Sharing the Planet unit on Peace and Conflict.

Sharing The Planet: Peace See-Think-Wonder

School is in full swing and we have been progressing through our Peace and Conflict unit. Kids are thinking of many great ideas and questions related to the topic. For homework last week I gave them an assignment to do a See-Think-Wonder on a picture they found that represents what Peace is to them. The project turned out so well and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!
