MLK Day

Dr. Marin Luther King Day

The last few days we have been learning about Dr. Martin Luther King.

We started by reading the American Girl story of Addy, to give the students some background on what slavery was, and how it impacted the people being enslaved. 

My students loved it, and were even more excited to see the doll. It was kind of like seeing her in real life. 



Next we created a book about Dr. Kings life. Just a few facts about him so that they got to understand some of the things we went through.

Next we learned a song about M.L.K. The song worked because it wan't too wordy and it was very easy to learn.
