Black History Month

We kicked off Black History Month in January with the help of B's dad with a book about Martin Luther King Jr. the title of the book is The Cart that Carried Martin.   The Acorns talk about the cart, what color the cart is, and how the cart is being used. 

In addition to the book on Martin, we participate in We Stories. IF you have not checked out We Stories, you can take a look http://www.westories.org/blog
This month, we have the series of a new child coming to a school. These books help us talk about our differences and how those differences just make us who we are and to be proud of our differences, because we all have features that are the same.  Ex. we all have hair (well most of us) we have a nose, we all have skin, etc.

Yesterday, we discussed Walter Ambrose. We talked about how and why our school is named after Mr. Ambrose.  Today we drew pictures of Mr. Ambrose.
