These are some of the books we are reading in library
Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. tell the life story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in simple words and lovely pictures. It also introduces our students to Dr. King's teachings about nonviolence. Throughout the book, key words from Dr. King's teachings appear as part of the art. At the beginning of the story, young Martin is reading a "White Only" sign in his hometown. Martin grows up, becomes a preacher and studies the writing of Mahatma Gandhi. He puts his ideas into practice at the Montgomery bus boycott and other civil rights demonstrations. He speaks to the nation, and more and more people listen to him. The book ends with some of the "big words" for which Dr. King is remembered: peace, love, freedom, together and dream.
__In library, students learned more about Dr. King's life and thought about their own impact on the future. By turning from King's words to their own hopes, students brainstormed and reflected on "I had a dream in which I did something that made the world a better place".
_I taught the students an abridged signing and speaking recitation of "I Had A Dream".
A Fish Who Could Wish
In the deep blue sea,
In the deep of the blue,
Swam a fish who could wish,
And each wish would come true.
He wished for a castle,
He wished for a car,
But one day he wished
Just a little too far...
