In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, First Grade learned the importance of color. Through the book The Crayon Box that Talked, we better understood discrimination of color. And we also learned that each color individually is unique but together "the picture is complete". 

Just think how boring the world would be if there was only one color!

To show appreciation of our colorful world, we each designed a crayon to add to our school's big "Box of Crayons".

**Due to our shortened week, Ms. Alberico's class will be our Web Spotlight next week!
"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

This is a wonderful video of our story that I found on the Internet!
