In our Kindergarten classroom we talked about the difference between a dream you have at night and the kind of dream that Martin Luther King Jr. had. Then we drew and wrote examples of each. And of course their was singing and hand print painting involved in all that too!

I wanted to check out yours too and I love it! How did you get your design for your blog??<br /><br />I love Martin's Big Words! I also love My Brother Martin. In February we always do a lot more Black History Month stuff with some of my favs: No Mirrors in My Mamma's House (great for inferring), Precious and The Boo Hag, Momma Where are you From? (wonderful writing assignment idea), The Other Side, Goin' Someplace Special....I could keep going on and on!<br /><br /><br />When I taught upper elementary we used to do Reader's Theater with MLK's I Have a Dream speech (the most famous parts of it anyway). We would listen to Dr. King speaking and how he gave the speech and we would talk about the passion that he spoke with. We would then talk about how we need to read with that same expression and importance. Then the kids would deliver his speech and try to convey the same passion! So much fun!!<br /><br /><a href="http://hangingoutinfirst.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Hanging Out in First!</a><br /><br />JessicaJessica Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15682627435031761156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7074530186001105095.post-62834221430787222782013-01-19T13:18:38.135-05:002013-01-19T13:18:38.135-05:00Thank you so much for the follow!

You know, I much as I love my position now, I still miss my first grade classroom. I miss planning special units of study like MLK, Jr. Day, and I especially miss reading aloud to students! I sometimes sneak into the class next door and read to them during my planning period. Does that sound weird?

We then took a look at a word splash related to one of the MLK, Jr. biographies I have. Students accessed their background knowledge and wrote what they already know about him. They also wrote two ?'s before reading. Tomorrow, I plan to introduce the genre of biographies. We'll read the bio I have, and we'll tie it into main idea/details. By the end of the week, students will write their own biographies about MLK, Jr. I'll try to download your awesome activities.
