Today we honor this great man and all he stood for Today we honor this great man and all he stood for. He believed in respect for all, standing up peacefully to speak out against wrongful acts, and certainly equal rights. There is so much room for improvement yet today, but together, we can make our world a better place. Happy birthday MLK JR! We appreciate all you taught us and continue to teach us. #mlkjr #mlkjrday For a FANTASTIC mentor text about Dr. King, I recommend Martin's Big Words. It's so beautifully written, and your students NEED to hear them and see the amazing illustrations. I use the lapbook I created and other teaching resources in the bundle to help students record and honor his life. If you're interested in giving this resource a try, I tagged the photos. May we all aspire to be like Dr. King.
