Martin Luther King Jr

We enjoyed learning about Martin Luther King Jr.! 

There favorite fact was that he used his words, not his fist or guns. 

MLK

We started out day by reading two books about Martin Luther King. 

We sang a song about him also. 

This song is sung to the tune of "Bingo"
There was a man who had a dream His name was Mar-tin Lu-ther King Mar-tin Lu-ther King Mar-tin Lu-ther King Mar-tin Lu-ther King His name was Mar-tin Lu-ther King
Doctor King, he had a dream He wanted peace for everyone P-E-A-C-E P-E-A-C-E P-E-A-C-E His name was Mar-tin Lu-ther King!

I love this activity. I cut out squares and rectangles in different sizes and the students followed directions on how to fold and /or cut them to form new shapes. It was a great listening and following directions activity and I loved that they all turned out great and different.

We also created MLK mystery picture with our 100 Charts.
