Although I remember the Civil Rights Movement quite vividly, what went on in the 60's is quite different from today.  Because of this, I think it’s extremely important to teach a bit of history, taking your students on a trip through the past, to help them get a feel for what that time period was like.

In today's blog I want to feature some of my favorite MLK downloads that have been quite popular. Hopefully they're just what you're looking for.

Throughout the day, use them as incentives, and pass them out as children complete tasks.  Challenge them to collect all seven to share with their friends. 

Can anyone tell you who Martin Luther King Jr. was or why we have a holiday to celebrate him?  MLK ideas, MLK activities, martin luther king day activities, martin luther king activities, martin luther king crafts, martin luther king sites, martin luther king books, martin luther king activities for kids, martin luther king writing promtps, writing prompts for january, MLK crafts, MLK writing promtps, MLK lessons for young children, good books for martin luther king day, KWL for MLK, KWL for martin luther king, MLK bookmark, martin luther king bookmark, martin luther king bookmark, MLK venn diagrams, martin luther king venn diagrams, MKL dictionary, diversity lessons, diversity activities Most of my students had no knowledge of Dr. King. 

With this in mind, I designed a KWL.  Have your students complete their own personal MLK KWL, then gather children together to fill in the larger KWL for MLK.

After your studies, at the end of the day, have students complete their KWL by writing in what they learned.

Click on the link for my 24 all-time favorite books for Martin Luther King Day.

These are tried and true resources, to help little ones wrap their heads around complex concepts, and really helped my Y5's comprehend the hard-to-understand stuff.  

One of my personal favorites, and my Y5's favorite story for our MLK unit, is The Sneeches, by Dr. Seuss.  MLK ideas, MLK activities, bibliography of martin luther king books, KWL for martin luther king, martin luther king day activities, martin luther king activities, martin luther king crafts, martin luther king sites, martin luther king books, martin luther king activities for kids, martin luther king writing promtps, writing prompts for january, MLK crafts, MLK writing promtps, MLK lessons for young children, good books for martin luther king day, KWL for MLK, KWL for martin luther king, MLK bookmark, martin luther king bookmark, martin luther king bookmark, MLK venn diagrams, martin luther king venn diagrams, MKL dictionary, diversity lessons, The Sneetches, diversity activities I checked out YouTube to see if they had a video of The Sneeches and found several. 

Click on the link to take a look at this short 12-minute full-version of The Sneeches!  I think your kiddo's will really enjoy it. 

They can easily see the unfairness of "stars on bellies" and in the end, agree with the author that such practices were cruel and pointless.

I enjoyed wading through more than 40 websites and reading over 20 children's books, plus a few biographies and then fact-checked discrepancies. 

I thought I knew quite a bit, however, I learned many more amazing things! (I was unaware that he skipped 9th and 12th grade and went to college at the age of 15!)

Read through the pages, highlight what you feel is relevant and appropriate for your kiddos, and then share:  95-Interesting Fast Facts About Martin Luther King.

This is a wonderful site for children.

Another age-appropriate site is  ngThe National Georgraphic site for kids. They have an excellent photographic timeline of MLK.

After reading some stories and watching a few videos, toss in some technology, and have your students take a short online MLK quiz.

I've included a list of kid-friendly websites,  a page of mini photographs, plus a list of fun facts they can use.

Another way to help your students learn about Martin Luther King Jr., is through vocabulary building.  There is a plethora of new words that your students will come across as they listen to stories, read books, search for facts, and watch video clips. 

It's important to make sure that your kiddos understand their meanings.  For example, diversity is a relatively new word for youngsters.  Helping them understand that we are all different, yet we are all also, the same, is a great way to explain things.

Students discuss how they are exactly the same on the inside, then relate it to what they are learning.

You could also do this with M&M's. Have students suck the colorful candy coating off, then stick out their tongue to check things out.  What conclusions can they draw?  How is ethnicity similar?

The quirky rhyming format makes it a wonderful read aloud:  "We're different.  Our noses are different. We are the same.  Our noses are the same.  They breathe and sniff and sneeze and whiff."

To help build their vocabularies, select whatever words you'd like your students to learn, and have them add the words to their MLK Dictionary, where they write, define and use the word in a sentence. 

The packet includes 2 different covers (one for upper and one for lower el), an alphabetical list of 62-MLK-related words, plus 62 trace and write word cards. Click on the link to view/download the  MLK "My Words" dictionary.

Another fun way to immerse your students in this new vocabulary, is by searching for words in a word find.  I've designed 2 word searches for Martin Luther King Day  (1 for lower el, as well as an upper el version).

Have them highlight the words that they find, as well as cross those words off the list.  Work from left to right first, and then any words that they  haven't found will probably be from top to bottom. 

Word searches are great for Daily 5 Word Work, early finishers, sub folders or a fun homework assignment.  I've included answer keys as well.  Click on the link to view/download the Martin Luther King Day Word Searches.

I've included a list of 525 words that I thought of.  While I was making my list, I thought how appropriate that many of these words could be directly associated with Dr. King's life. i.e he was a great man, and gave the ultimate sacrifice,  so I decided to assign the extra assignment of having students highlight the words they thought of, that were relevant to MLK's life.

I enjoy cooking almost as much as I do designing activities. Almost.... Actually, they are similar, as they both involve creating something, and then cleaning up a big mess as I go. :-)

For that finishing touch, have students put their school photo peeking out a window.

To add to the fun of writing about haunted houses and get students in the mood, dim the lights and play some Halloween music or a soundtrack from a thunderstorm.

So that you don't have to,  I spent some time making fun dental hygiene things to possibly make life a little bit easier for you.  I hope it's not too late for you to use a few of these new FREEBIES with a tooth theme.  I'll be finishing up with the rest tomorrow.
