Martin Luther King, Jr. Day


As a reminder, school will not be in session on Monday, January 18th, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This week we have been reading various books about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contributions to society. In particular, we have been focusing on the character trait of fairness. Through art and writing, the students are expressing their "dreams" for the future. Here are a few of the students' "dreams":

  • to go to the moon
  • to plant trees and flowers over the entire world
  • to give people love
  • to help children get food
  • to give everyone clothes
  • to treat everyone the same no matter what
The students also created multicultural handprints as graphic organizers to list five facts they learned about Martin Luther King, Jr.
