Martin Luther King Jr. Day School-Wide Meeting

Today our class and Ms. Barnett's class led the school-wide meeting focused on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our class spent lots of time last week learning about Martin Luther King Jr in preparation for today. We read books, watched a short video, did response to literature writing, learned a song, and discussed some big words such as racism, segregation, boycott, protest, civil rights, and equality. Our class did a really great job discussing and understanding what Martin Luther King Jr did to help create a better world for all of us today! At school wide meeting today our class and Ms. Barnett's led the school in a peace greeting (greeting each other with the sign language symbol for peace), our class led the school in a song about Martin Luther King Jr, and Ms. Barnett's class shared some writing they did about MLK. This was a really great way to spend the holiday at school learning about Dr. King. Below are a few photos of our classes leading the assembly today.
