MLK

Next week we have Monday off.
HOORAY!
But even more important than having an extra day to sleep in (and try to get over Cedar fever) is Martin Luther King and the example he set for us.

My mom came in to read a few books about the hero, Martin Luther King.

I have a dream speech.

MLK Song for kids.

Our Friend, Martin (61 minutes)

After reading some MLK stories and talking about him, we wrote our own dreams.

Here's Emilee's.

Here are some of my favorite MLK quotes:

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

This isn't an MLK story but it's a great story about overcoming racism.... White Socks Only
