In working with these second graders, I can feel a profound sense of hope for the future. The students in the class have a real interest in the world around them, and a care of others and the environment that surrounds them. We spent a lot of time this week exploring themes of peace, conflict, and our hopes and dreams for the future of our country. Students came up with lots of ideas, some of which you'll see in pictures below. We created writing pieces and art to go along with it in celebration of the work that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did on behalf of the Civil Rights movement.

Students also explored the idea of what a community is: Somewhere that we live, work, play, and solve problems. We made connections to the communities that we live in, as well as to our own classroom. In math, we spent lots of time exploring rulers, yardsticks, and measuring tools. On Friday, we celebrated more of Dr. King's work with a wonderful and beautiful PEACE Assembly that highlighted the importance of valuing everyone, and recognizing that every life is important. It was a wonderful end to our week! Until next time!
