Happy Birthday Dr. King

After talking about Dr. King, what he did, and why his life's work and that of others during that time period impacts us today, we sang happy birthday and ate a piece of cake in his name. We didn't get out and celebrate with a march or public celebration like others but we want our children to remember these days not just as days off from school but as a chance to celebrate the amazing accomplishments of people from the past. I don't know where she got it but Emma wrote down a quote that says, "Every girl has the strength to do something amazing. Anything is possible as long as you stay true to yourself and never give up on your dreams!" If she can just remember that and use Dr. King as an example I know she is destined for greatness and what a treat for us, we get to cheer her on!
