MLK

Today we started discussing African American's that changed our history.  In class we revisited Martin Luther King Jr. We read Martin's Big Words.  It is an amazing book that goes through his childhood to his adulthood.  We learned that he was a person of peace and someone who devoted his life to make the world a place of equality for all people.

Jalen wrote, " MLK used his words not his fists."

Emma wrote, " MLK used his words and stood up for himself."

In math we started discussing ordinal numbers.  We used our friends color of paper to decide where they were in line.  Austin was 1st, Jalen was 2nd, Emma was 3rd, Chris was 4th and Ashton was 5th.

We tried it again with a new set of friends.  Gensis was 1st, Addison was 2nd, Shane was 3rd, Gigi was 4th and Miracle was 5th.
