Curriculum: A Discovering Year & In Our Hands
This year our elementary students will combine themes of Unitarian Universalist Identity with Peace and Justice. A Discovering Year focuses on our UU Values and principles including cooperation, celebrating friends and differences and discovering our Church. In Our Hands involves children exploring their own knowledge and feelings about the issues of peace and justice (or "fairness" as this curriculum defines justice for young ones). Children will explore constructive ways of resolving conflict, discover how peace and fairness fits into their relationship with nature and learn about several Unitarian Universalists who have made a contribution to peace and fairness in the world.
