January is a time for dreaming. It is the beginning of the new year. It is the month in which we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and re-read his "I Have a Dream" speech.
First and second grade students did some dreaming on Tuesday. First, we looked at how different illustrators had imagined and created drawings/paintings/collages to depict different parts of Dr. King's speech. Then, we took some time to close our eyes, and look inside at our own dreams for what we want to do with our lives. Through pantomime, the students shared their dreams with the rest of the class and used their bodies to make their dreams concrete. Finally, with crayons and pencils, we illustrated our dreams.
At St. Therese, we have future moms, cheerleaders, firemen, police officers, presidents, navy men and women, doctors, and dancers. We will make a difference in the world, won't we?
