Thank you. Your story is on its way.
Check your inbox for The Wind of a Thousand Years and your hands-on classroom activity.
The printable PDF should arrive within the next few minutes. Pour a cup of something warm and take a look. It's a short read, and we think your students will have plenty to say about it.
What happens next
Nothing complicated. Here's how most teachers and homeschool groups use it.
1. Open your email
Look for a message from P. Jamie Lee with your printable PDF. If it's not there, peek in your spam or promotions folder.
2. Read it aloud
The Wind of a Thousand Years works well as a read-aloud for grades 3–6. Pause wherever your students want to talk.
3. Make something together
Try the creative activity and the gentle conversation prompts. Kids often say the most interesting things while their hands are busy.
You're part of something that started on notebook paper
Since 2007, small handmade Bead People have been traveling the world, carrying a simple message from one community to the next.
"In our differences is our strength."
Didn't get the email?
Give it about ten minutes. Then check your spam, junk, or promotions folder. School email filters can be enthusiastic.
Still nothing? Send a quick note to pjamielee@gmail.com and I'll make sure a copy finds its way to you.
We'd love to hear how it goes
If your class or group makes Bead People, tell me how many you made and where you are. A photo or a story about what the kids said is always welcome. It helps show that this little idea is still alive in real classrooms.
"We, The Bead People of Planet Earth, agree to take care of each other, Mother Earth and all of her creatures and to never harm another because he or she is different from me."
The Bead People Manifesto
Thank you for bringing a little of this into your classroom.
