On Monday, January 21st our school is closed in honor of the memory and legacy of
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Today our school took time to teach our preschoolers about this man and his dream.
Ms. Nita created a wonderful display for the children and parents in the Blue Butterflies room.
Ms. Amanda read a book about Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. She talked to the children about Dr. King's legacy. The class was very interested in how Dr. King made changes to our country. They were very thankful that they could go to school with children of all different colors. One child said that even though Dr. King was in heaven we were still thankful for what he did for us. Words like "freedom" and "fair" were used throughout our discussion.
At the end of the book the Purple Peacocks repeated the end of this historic speech.
Enjoy the long weekend but make sure to take time to remember Dr. King and if you get a chance maybe you can share President Obama's inauguration with your children too!
