In honor and remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dolsen Third Graders and Ms. Schueneman's Second graders read "The Other Side" by Jaqueline Woodson and My Uncle Martin's Big Heart by Angela Farris Watkins. Students then thought about and discussed Dr. Martin Luther King's life's work, persistence, and empathy towards others.
Students were then asked to think of the big ideas and important themes in what they had just read, seen, or heard. They chose a COLOR that they think best represents the essence of that idea. Then a SYMBOL that best represents the essence of that idea. Lastly, they sketched an IMAGE that best captures the essence of that idea.
