Our week with Martin Luther King Jr.

This week for our history class we covered Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. We look a live class with Founder's Adademy offered through currclick. We watched a documentary on Netflix called Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Perspective. Next we did some research and completed a lapbook offered from A Journey Through Learning.

The lapbook came with some craft templates. We painted the dove of peace with our fingerprints and made paper dolls.

The lapbook also came with some journal sheets, coloring sheets and games.

We have talked about King before in our homeschool but as the kids get older we are able to share a little more. Evamarie and Emma could not believe that people judged each other just based on skin color. We all held out our arms and compared our skin! None of ours are the same in our family. I hope that they will take with them the lessons that King taught and will be able to pass his ideas on to their kids one day.
