As part of our Global Art Sense of Caring project, our class learned about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by reading books about his life and sharing our ideas with each other about how we could make our classroom a peaceful, caring place.
We each wrote an essay titled:
"If Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., were standing beside me, he would notice that I..."
We wrote about what good things he would notice we are doing. Click here to read some of our essays.
As a whole class, we wrote an essay about what makes a good leader. Click here to read our essay.
For our Pullman community celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday in January 2001, we created a 12 foot mural of our class standing side by side together as friends and titled it "Children Side By Side Being Caring About One Another". Our mural was on display at the community YWCA celebration. Here is what our mural looked like:
