Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
First graders spent time thinking about freedom, equality, and the beauty of nature this morning. Coincidentally, we were able to make connections between the teachings of the great Dr. King and children’s author Leo Lionni.
Martin Luther King Jr. told the people that you don’t have to be alone if you are different. It doesn’t matter. Leo Lionni made two books that we read today. The books said it doesn’t matter about your color.
Martin Luther King Jr. and Leo Lionni taught us it doesn’t matter what color you are. Tico learned a lesson about sharing.
Martin Luther King Jr. said to the government that it doesn’t matter what color you are. The chameleon wanted to be a certain color. Tico learned about sharing and being a nice friend.
Dr. Martin Luther King taught us to change the world, and Tico taught us that we are all different.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. helped change the laws. He helped the world and people.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did a nice thing. It doesn’t matter what color you are. It matters that you can move and play.
Leo Lionni and Martin Luther King Jr. both taught people that it doesn’t matter if you skin is black or white. It just matters that you are yourself.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. says everybody is different from other people, even the people that are the same color. Tico learned sharing is nice. Chameleon learned that not every animal has a color.
Martin Luther King taught us it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white. Tico taught us sharing is fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re different. It doesn’t matter who you are, just what you do. Chameleon taught us it doesn’t matter what color you are.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Leo Lionni are kind of the same because they both like others. What really matters is what you do.
Martin Luther King believed in freedom. It doesn’t matter what color you are. Leo Lionni is a great bookmaker. The chameleon changes color and meets a friend.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught people it doesn’t matter what color your skin is. Leo Lionni wrote A Color of His Own. The book is like Martin Luther King because they taught us the same thing.
Martin Luther King showed us that colors can be different, but we are all people.
Martin Luther King helped change the law and give us freedom. He told us everybody could be great people. We have to be nice to everyone and help each other and care about each other.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us about people and freedom. He said that it doesn’t matter what color you are and everybody should be able to do the same things. Family, food, and friendship are really important in life.

Dr. martin Luther King is one of my biggest insperations. I hope every child grows from his day on to know that the only thing that matters, is your heart, not your skin color. Everyone has the same stuff inside, its how we all use it, that matters most! I am wondering though? If you could change something in the world, what would it be? Something that makes life better for everyone, in the whole world?? Can you think of some stuff? Ok, everyone, happy thinking! I'll wait and see what you come up with!! Melanie

These are so sweet, I think all the wonderful first graders really got a grasp on equality and what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for. Great job...
Hello First Graders:
I am a librarian at the International School of Brussels in Brussels, Belgium. I am at a workshop today to learn about blogging. I really like your blog about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Leo Lionni. Both Dr. King and Leo Lionni are heroes of mine. I found it so intersting that you made comparisons between these two men. Next year, around Martin Luther King's birthday I am going to do this project with my first grade classes when they come to the library.
Thanks for a terrific idea!
Mr. Brewster
PS Did you know that Leo Lionni lived with his grandparents for a year in Brussels when he was 9years old? His mother was a concert pianist and she traveled all over the world. His father was a business man who traveled. So, Leo got to live with his grandparents for awhile.
