Monday is Martin Luther King Day! This year K-2 will be making a "Dream Quilt". The students will learn about Martin Luther King and that he had a dream for our country to work together. The students will draw a picture of what they dream of being when they grow up and then we will put all the pieces together to make a whole quilt. The purpose of this lesson is to have the students learn that they are part of a whole. Helping each other achieve their dream benefits everyone!
