The entire first grade worked on learning about the important contributions of Martin Luther King Jr. We read stories, watched the movie "My Friend Martin" and created art projects to display in the hallway. It is always heartwarming to see how young kids respond to the injustices that were common during Dr. King's time. They were incredibly engaged in our studies and had many questions. We created portraits of Dr. King to display in the hallway along with projects from the other first grade classrooms. Ask your child what he/she remembers about Martin Luther King Jr.
