MLK Day

Today the students did two different activities in reading and writing to learn more about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and how he impacted peoples lives and society.

During reading the students paired up and read through an informational text about Martin Luther King, Jr. This taught the students who MLK was, how he helped others, his dream, and his final years.

As a class we discussed the different events in Martin Luther King's life. Students then created a timeline covering the most important events of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life. 

During writing, students watched a three minute video on Martin Luther King, Jr. Then created a poster about what he dreamed and hoped for. They also told how they would keep his dream alive and what all MLK taught them.
