Dear 4th Grade parents;
By now you might have heard about the World Peace Game which was introduced to the 4th grade class last year. Mrs. Denman spent a week with Mr. John Hunter, the creator of the game last summer. She was selected along with 25 other educators from around the world to watch children play the game and then learn from the grand master himself. She was so inspired that she wrote a grant to fund the building of the game board and Ms. Cantin agreed that 4th graders should play the World Peace Game.
Below are some links about the World Peace Game which may be helpful in understanding what it is we are doing! “Preparing children for a global society” is taken to a new level during this time. We will be playing the game on Thursday afternoons for about an hour for eight weeks and you will be invited to observe the last day. You and your child may want to watch and read this information together.
