Welcome to our Blog!

For parents who have been looking for information about First Day School as well as Quaker resources we hope this site will not only provide a greater understanding of what is happening each week at Princeton Monthly Meeting's First Day School, but also easier access to additional resources which will help parents to carry these lessons on at home.

THE COMMUNITY OF THE AMAZING QUAKER INNER FLASHLIGHTS OF PEACE

(originally known as the 3 to 5th graders) are devoting February classes to the practice of Peace and Equality and Respecting the Light in Others.  For example, we observed Super Bowl Sunday by playing non-competitive games and talking about inclusion. In anticipation of Valentine's Day we talked about honoring the Light in people who are important to us and made snacks and keepsakes to share with Meeting members and attenders.  On Feb. 15, we worked on excercises to achieve inner peace and talked about positive ways to deal with frustration and anger in our daily lives.
 
Feb. 22 to March 22 will be devoted to preparing a dramatic presentation for Meeting--children may choose to perform or help with scenic crafts.
