Cycle 15

Martin Luther King, Jr. and Snowmen

Second Grade--The second graders will continue to work on their book Martin Luther King, Jr. and Me.  The students are comparing their life to the life of Martin Luther King, Jr.  I can't wait to see what dreams our students have for the world.

First Grade and Full Day Kindergarten--The students will be watching Martin MacGregor's Snowman by Lisa Broadie Cook.  How can a snowman fanatic build a snowman if there's NO snow? Martin MacGregor lives for building snowmen. All year long he sits and he waits and he dreams of deep snowdrifts and blinding blizzards. So what's poor Martin to do when winter comes and there's no snow? Martin finds it hard to be patient, but he develops all sorts of alternate plans for building his snowmen. Unfortunately, his creative genius backfires every time, and he may still be grounded by the time next winter comes around!  Because there isn't any snow outside the students will then use the computer to build and print a snowman.
