MLK Freebie and Giveaway

While planning for the month of January, I was disappointed to find that most of the resource materials floating around for Martin Luther King Day are geared toward upper elementary grades. Word searches and crossword puzzles are great, but they sure don't meet the 87 zillion kindergarten standards we're all trying to squeeze in. So, as we all often do, since I couldn't find any good cross-curricular activities, I made some of my own.
Wanting to combine the powerful message this great man had for our world with the emerging skills of my kiddos, I came up with some kindergarten-y math, literacy and art activities. I've been using some of them in my math and literacy centers and they've been a big hit and the kids are doing a great job with them. In honor of Martin, I'd like to spread some love and share. First, help yourself to the writing freebie down below. It's a bubble map for students to use to write descriptive words about MLK. Next, I'd like to send the whole packet to the first 3 people who comment on this post with an idea that they use to share Martin's dream with their kiddos. Finally, I'd like to have a quick giveaway. To enter, leave a comment if you're a follower and an additional comment if you blog about the giveaway. I'll pick one winner for every 20 comments - the more entries, the more winners! It's going to be a quickie because I'd like the winners to have a chance to use the unit later this week, so I'll pick the winners Tuesday night. Be sure to leave your email!
