Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Throughout this past week our class engaged in several activities to help understand  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s monumental contribution to our country. We made mini books about MLK's life and wrote about making the world a better place with our big buddies. With Ms. Garland's class we watched a clip of MLK's famous "I Have A Dream" speech and as a Kindergarten grade level we attended a presentation by some SBHS students and five fifth graders from Orchard. Together, they brought Martin's words "only in the darkness can you see the stars" to life. Mr. White shared a photo of Dr. King with his father and son that inspired one of our classmates to make his own drawing.  Kindergartners connect easily with MLK's messages of using words not violence, standing up for what is fair, persevering for a cause and using words not violence to insure equal rights for all.
