Martin Luther King Day...
Today we watched a video about who Martin Luther King JR. was...
We also discussed what it means to be accepted for who we are....what we look like, sound like, where we come from.
Students enjoyed the video: FIND IT HERE
H + B listened and watched the video. Then we worked on our verbal skills by playing an exciting matching SHAPE GAME :)
After that H was able to play some ESL Games on
while B had some poetry to finish
Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr.
Even though we are Canadian we need to always acknowledge world events and world history.
Today we celebrate Martin Luther King day!

Celebrations
We are talking celebrations. T mentioned he heard a song on the radio and he wanted to listen to it because it reminded him of the word "Celebration". So we did. :)

Wonderful happy day :)
