Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day, and students were out of school. We talked today about why exactly we celebrate this holiday. Students learned that Dr. King believed in using words not violence, and that he believed everyone to be equals. We learned about a new genre of books today- the biography- when we read about Dr. King. We also watched the movie Our Friend Martin. Tomorrow for social studies, we will read another biography about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and write about our dreams for our school and world.
