A Time to Remember

铭记的时刻

November 11, 2021 is the National Day of Remembrance. Remembrance Day is also known as Armistice Day. This day marks the very day that World War One ended in 1918. We hold a two-minute silence at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month to remember those who have died in any conflict.

2021年11月11日是国家纪念日。国殇纪念日也被称为停战日。这一天标志着第一次世界大战在1918年结束的那一天。我们会在11月11日上午11点举行两分钟的默哀，以纪念那些在战争中牺牲的人。

With the world where it is today, understanding our history is more important than ever. Learning how to keep peace and spread kindness is the first step to proactively prevent history from repeating itself. The children practice acts of kindness daily in Ecocation. We hope that learning how to change the little things can help in the future prevent some bigger issues.

在今天，了解历史比以往任何时候都更加重要。学习如何维护和平和传播友善是主动防止历史重演的第一步。孩子们每天都会在Ecocation课堂展示他们友好的行为方式。我们希望：学习如何在小事情上做出改变，可以防止更大问题的产生。

Our classes will be postponed to honour our Fellow Canadians who have protected Canada and stood for Peace. We do know that coming together as fellow Canadians is an important lesson to our younger generation. As we remember our past, let’s be a positive influence on our future.

我们的课程会暂停一周，以纪念那些保护加拿大和支持和平的加拿大人。我们也知道，那些经历一路艰辛走到一起的加拿大人是我们年轻一代要学习的重要一课。让我们铭记过去，积极面对美好的将来。

Peas on Earth By Todd H. Doodler

《地球上的豌豆》作者：Todd H. Doodler

Peas on Earth uses a simple play on words to portray the basic concepts of peace, harmony, getting along with all kinds of people, and being green in a manner that young kids will grasp. And it will resonate more as they grow older. Adult caregivers will chuckle over the peas/peace references while young children will relate to the important messages about our earth and those of us who live on it. The artwork is colorful, charming, and as an added value, there is a simple pop-up at the end of the book.

《地球上的豌豆》用简单的文字游戏描绘出和平、和谐、与他人相处以及环保等易于孩子们掌握的基本概念。而且随着孩子们长大，他们会更明白其中的道理。大人们会觉得豌豆（英文谐音）/和平的说法很有趣，但孩子们则会学习到地球和生活在地球上的人们的重要知识。这本书色彩鲜艳，内容丰富，而且作为额外惊喜，书的最后一页是立体设计。
