Martin Luther King, Jr. - "week 15"

The third Monday of every January is a holdiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  This 6 day "week" happened to have Days 1-3 before that Monday and Days 4-6 after it.  Regardless, every class briefly discussed the holiday and watched a small video via brainpop or brainpopjr to learn more about Martin Luther King and why we have this holiday.

We had some fun MLK activities to work on.  Grades 4 and 5 made paper silhouettes of Dr. King and wrote some facts about his life on the inside.  After decorating the cutouts to look like him, we hung them up in the windows on each side of the door.  The windows are made up of blocks and the little MLKs fit perfectly in the blocks.  It was fun to watch both windows fill up.

Grades 2 and 3 made little books about MLK and we had coloring pages for PreK, K and 1st.
