Abstract	In this article, the author shares how she created a "peaceable classroom" through activities which she incorporated into a 1st-grade curriculum and which fulfilled academic requirements. As a 1st-grade teacher at Redlands Adventist Academy in Redlands, CA, she wanted to create a learning environment that would foster values like inclusive compassion, social justice, service, and active peacemaking. Fortunately, she found a wealth of resources she could use to enhance the required classroom curriculum with standards-based activities that developed students' intellectual, emotional, and social growth. Her first step in creating a "peaceable classroom" was to design a structure conducive to peace-building student interaction. she mentions that she designed her curriculum around four major skill sets: Empathy Training, Diversity Training, Community Awareness, and Conflict Resolution.
