MLK's Work Still Carrying On
In second grade, students studied Dr. King in many ways; they read Scholastic materials, watched part of the I have a Dream speech, and they researched him using Pebblego. The classroom read-aloud books focused on Dr. King and the students read several of his quotes for fluency. Students applied what they learned by asking themselves, "Who was he? What did he want?" and, "What can we learn from him?" The class discussed what service to others meant and why it is so important. Students brainstormed what they could do as a service for others without relying on their parents to buy something. They came up with the idea of making cards for the residents at Middlebury Convalescent Home in our local community. Many of the students had visited there with their Boy Scout/Girl Scout troops. They made beautiful, heartfelt cards for the residents. This activity culminated by writing about their own dream that would make the world a better place. Attached is a photo of the students holding their card and their dream for a better world.
