Peace March Adapts to the Rain

This morning we had planned to have a Peace March around the neighborhood to show unity and community at Oxford Elementary. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we had to cancel it. I was able to visit several classrooms and saw some wonderful things happening related to Martin Luther King Jr. and the Inauguration.

1. a class watching Martin and Me

2. a class listening to “I Have a Dream” while they drew or wrote something related to the theme

3. a class having a discussion about the Inauguration and our government system

4. a class writing their own “I Have a Dream” speeches

This afternoon, a few classes decided to have a short Peace March, just to share their statements of Hope, Love, and Unity. It was super cute! (It started to rain, so we had to cut it a little short.)

I think a few classes want to hold another Peace March on Monday—your children are amazing!

Have a good weekend. Beth
