Our Gifts to Dr. King


There have been so many great things happening in our class since my last posting.  This month in conjunction with the study of our January character trait (FAIRNESS), we learned all about the great contributions that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made that have allowed us to enjoy the liberties we do today.  As a thank you, each one of us, I included, wrote about a gift that we would give to Dr. King.  I got the idea of a gift from another blog.   (Forgive me! I can’t remember which one.)

I don’t know about you all but so many times I think adults think that a concept is over the heads of kids.  I must admit I was guilty of it.  I just knew my kiddies would say that they would give Dr. King something like an Xbox.  Happily and surprisingly, that was not the case.  Their responses were beautiful and right on point.  They brought me to tears to hear all of the great gifts that they said they would give.  All I could say is “yes!” and “you’ve got it!” They really did impress me!

Below are pictures of our door display and some samples of my students’ work.
