On Tuesday, we read books and talked in length about who Martin Luther King, Jr. was. We talked about equality and his dream and compared what it was like for a child 40 years ago to how we are treated today. The kids noticed how different it is today and we thanked MLK for standing up for his rights and making the world a better place through peaceful problem solving. Students made many connections with MLK, Jr. and noticed how he too showed many of the same behaviors we talk about.I was impressed with all that the children shared and reflected on about making peace in our world.
