Honoring a Hero

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
    In order to prepare for this long, holiday weekend, our class spent the week discussinig the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I was so impressed by the level of thoughtfulness your second graders displayed as they learned about Dr. King. As you can imagine, it was hard for them to believe that times in our country could be so different than they are now! 
Diving into picture book biographies!
Seeing Dr. King make his famous speech at the March on Washington was a major highlight!
    After reading many beautiful picture book biographies we focused on what Martin thought, how he felt, and what actions he took. Check out these amazing tributes they made!
