School Week 21

This week because of the holiday we are reading; A Picture Book of Martin Luther King, Jr. We'll be doing a lapbook as well.

"
this picture-book format serves as a highly effective, empathetic way to introduce the life and legacy of important Americans to young children. Here the highlights of King's life are presented with an emphasis on his childhood and family. Children will immediately relate to his painful early experiences of racism and understand the genesis of his lifelong struggle for racial equality. The book portrays the hatred King endured, the horror of his assassination and the intense power of his message. A single-page list of important dates closes the book."


X5 rowed the book The Snowy Day.
