Martin Luther King, Jr.

During this short week we have studied Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's Birthday and the Presidential Inauguration. Our book of the week was Martin's Big Words by Rappaport. We made dream mobiles while learning to follow directions, write words, and develop sentences, and will have a dream balloon release with letters that the kids have written. They seem to really enjoy their projects this week and know a lot of information about the civil rights movement. I can't believe how smart they are!! Take a moment and ask them what they know....It's really amazing.

Please send back the Make It, Take It night survey and earn your child an extra sticker in speech! If you have questions please contact me and I will happily discuss the details. No spelling test this week but look for new words next week when we study the Chinese New Year's a little early.
