Eva Grace learned about Martin Luther King....again

Ok. I have to preface this story with the last year's. Her First Grade class learned about Martin Luther King and had to write on what they dreamed of being one day. Her classmates wrote of big things... a president, a movie star, a doctor, ... Eva Grace wanted to be... a real elf!

Fast forward... Now in 2nd grade, this week was MLK Day. EG comes home asking if she is a color or a white. She thought she was pretty colorful!

Can't wait for next year!



I will add that she has greatly enjoyed learning about MLK this week. She was really upset by the cruelty of others because of skin color. She couldn't understand why. She is my most compassionate child and I love to watch her get emotionally involved in something she cares about. Compassion is one of her strengths.
