Martin's Big Words

To honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. we read "Martin's Big Words" by Doreen Rappaport for Kidz Lit this week.

Check out Ms. Katrina reading to the children below, their thoughts after reading, and our very own "Dr. Iesha" shares new BIG words she learned. Enjoy!

C.J. In the Black History Program

I was so proud of C.J. he has now started a new school. He is doing alot better. He still has his bad days, but I know it will get better. The teachers at Bayles Elementary seem to have the kids feelings at heart. Last week C.J. participated in the Black History Program, He did a great job. It amazes me that He knows so much about Black History. The things he was saying I never knew, or don't remember. I was learning from Him. That is sooooooo! cool. He stood up in front of people like a champ. I also like how the attendance was overwhelming! It was packed all in the highway. That is what I like to see, Parent-Teacher involvement. Their step team also did a great job. Way To Go Kids!!!
