The Kinders spent the week learning about MLK Jr., his dream, how to be a good friend and not a bully and manners.
On the day we read The Crayon Box that Talked- we started off with an activity with drawing a picture using only one crayon - black. I had quite a few comments about how the picture is boring and why they couldn't use any other crayons. Once we drew the picture we came together and read the story. The story teaches that when you use all different colors - your picture is complete.
After reading the story - on the other side of the paper we drew the exact same picture that we drew earlier. This time we used all different colors!
We started on our crayon craft. They each got to decorate their name and their crayon.
Our crayons finished and up!
We talked about how it was back then between coloreds and whites. How they couldn't go to the same schools, parks, stores and restaurants to name a few. We then talked about a man that changed it all because of the dream he had.
They each had to come up with a dream that they would like to have. They came up with some great dreams!!
To finish up our week we talked about bullies and how to use our manners.
Here is an activity that we did: Monster Manners. We had to identify the monsters that were using their manners and the ones that were not using their manners.
