MLK JR. Reader
Then, I also made a new MLK Jr. Day reader. What a fun and interactive way to learn about MLK Jr. Lesson in Kindergarten. This is a duel book. One is a standard reader. The other is identical, but it has QR CODES with audio files so your little ones can listen to the book being read.
This pack is a win-win. If you don’t use technology, you can still use this pack. If you WANT to use technology but you are scared, you can try having an automatic backup. And if you know how awesome QR codes are and love them like me, then you will be excited to get your hands on this pack too. There is even a test code on the cover for you to try before you buy.

love this idea – never read this book, but I will now! You are totally right about teaching kinders about MLK –so hard.
I read the book " The Crayon Box that Talked" (colors don't like each other just because of their color being different). And then I relate that to the way things used to be. It is a good intro. But I want to try this activity as well!
Thanks!

Love the star idea!
What a great idea to read the Sneetches for MLK. I am going to steal that idea and do that tomorrow. Thanks!!
I think the story of the sneetches will flow right into the demo of the white and brown eggs. Isn't it great that our kids don't really understand the significance of what Martin Luther King did? Working and living together just seems so normal to them.

I really like this idea. I think it is something my class could really use and relate to this year. Thank you for the great idea.
I love this idea. I have never thought of using this book with MLK. Thanks for new ideas.
I love using Dr. Seuss to teach about MLK.
