This fall all elementary students will be participating in the international project, Pinwheels for Peace. This unit has become a collaborative lesson throughout the elementary center and it is my goal to extend our project into the community. As a result, we need a way to make the pinwheels weather resistant so they can be installed for longer periods of time outdoors throughout the community, and the laminator (with the pouches) is the most cost-effective way to achieve this goal. Although I have plenty of paint and pipe cleaners, I don’t have dowel rods for the base of the pinwheel and extra paper is needed since every student in the school is now participating. Lastly, sixth grade students will help assemble younger students’ pinwheels, so the extra hole punches are needed to use our time effectively. By providing funding for these supplies, students will be given a voice for peace and will be able to visually display their ideas throughout their school, their community and their county. The pinwheels are the foundation of the project. Because we have permission to display them at local businesses and at the county courthouse, we also have permission to display students’ “peace” writings, inspired by classroom prompts on the topic. Students’ writings will also be featured in the newspaper and read over morning announcements within the district. The librarian will read books within the theme each week and we are scheduling presenters to speak to students about the topic and creating a collaborative art piece within the building. None of these additional components would be happening without the Pinwheels for Peace project, which is why it is so important we have these supplies to make the rest a success.
