In observance of the late, great Dr. King, we had a non-academic day dedicated to a service project and learning about his great influence.
We started the day with a whole school assembly in the auditorium with a special WGST (thank you Amalie & Kavi!) and an introduction of our project with the Kindness Connection.
We spent the morning working on decorating bags, stuffing teddy bears and creating activity booklets for children who visit the emergency room.
In the afternoon, we watched the Dr. Suess movie - SNEETCHES to help us understand more about the effects of excluding others. We read stories about MLK and others who had a great effect on the Civil Rights Movement. We made signs about positive things in our world and held a peaceful march to share our signs & ideas.
It was a wonderful day. Thank you Dr. King for teaching us all the importance of peace, kindness, inclusivity and to stand up for what is right!
