Ok, this is a very belated post. :) In January, we celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I chose the poem below to focus on as our shared reading for the week. I really loved it. Super cute. (If I can find where I discovered this cute poem from I will add it to this post). We also did a MLK Pictorial Input chart. I sketched the picture of him as I told his story to the kids. The next day I passed out "Smart Cards" to the students, that had important information about him on them. We practiced sounding out some of the words and then as I retold the story of MLK they got to come up to the poster and stick their card on as they heard their word. We also did a writing assignment on what their dream was and MLK craft (pictured below) as our celebration activity on that Friday. :)
