WE have a Dream!
Monday, January 15th, we celebrate not only an individual who made our world a better place, but the fact that because of him we know what equality means.
We began talking about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this week as we are approaching the holiday on Monday. The students were shocked as we read and learned about how unfair our world used to be. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech really inspired the kids to write their own dreams about showing everyone kindness and treating others the way we want to be treated.
An important message we learned was that it doesn't matter what's on the outside, but it's what's on the inside that really matters!
A favorite quote from the week: "Miss Weeding, why couldn't everyone just love eachother?" What a fabulous question. And what a great idea!!! So, my challenge to you is to go out and LOVE everyone!
Happy long weekend, everyone. Remember what Monday is truly about.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
