In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, Kindergarten read Young Martin Luther King, Jr.: "I Have a Dream". It was very interesting for them to hear what life used to be like before individuals like Martin Luther King, Jr. made such an impact with only their words and non-violent actions.
We also watched a clip of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s actual "I Have a Dream" speech!
The Kindergarteners were very surprised at some of the old laws! The overall response was how unfair life used to be, especially when I told them about Rosa Parks. This week was a good introduction to the Civil Rights Movement and understanding that time in history and the impact it had.
**Due to our shortened week, Mrs. Aichele's class will be our Web Spotlight next week!
