I just wanted to share how impressed I am this week with my kiddos! We have had some intense vocabulary words for first graders! We're talking civil rights activist, peaceful, nonviolent, regardless, and equally! We have been studying about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The kiddos are really intrigued by why anyone would have to fight for all people to be treated fairly. "It's really sad that people couldn't be nice to each other." They all have such kind hearts! "I don't know if I want to read about this." I asked why.... "I just don't understand why someone would be that mean to any body else." These are our discussions in FIRST GRADE! I'm just overjoyed with my entire group!!!!
