Hey Everybody, So, do you work on Monday? We have the day off so we spent some time this week learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. I did this activity for the first time this year, and I tell you, I had goosebumps when I cracked the eggs and heard my kiddos reactions. It took all those moments when we read books about "being yourself" {Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon} and "it's what's on the inside not the outside that counts" {Elmer}and combined it with two eggs, simply cracked, to get it - I mean, really get it. I heard oohh's and ahhs....  I'm not exactly sure where this idea originated - but I found it on Pinterest Source: kidsactivitiesblog.com via Brittnie on Pinterest We made doves, signs of peace, to display ways that we thought we could work at keeping our classroom a peaceful place... We watched this short video clip on Scholastic News... Click the picture to head over to Scholastic News - it gives just the right amount of information. And worked our way through some other activities in my MLK Day Mini-Pack... If you are lucky enough to work on Monday and are a Last Minute Lucy you can pick up my pack to help you muddle through the day! Click the preview to get to my TpT store! Here's a freebie from the pack - I tried my hand at writing poetry {That took a lot of mental brainpower}. Just print and have your kids illustrate. Click the picture to download...
