KINDERGARTEN DREAM BOOK

Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday prompted a discussion with the Kindergarten classes about who Dr. King was. We talked about his famous speech given in 1964 on the Mall in Washington, DC and his dream for the world. The children thought of things that they felt were important that would continue Dr. King's dream. They drew pictures of their dreams in KID PIX, and typed the words in Microsoft Word. (The words that they wanted to say were dictated to me, I typed them and printed them out large, then they typed them into their word documents. This was a good exercise in letter recognition-the words that I typed for them were in upper and lower case letters, but the letters on the keyboard are all capitals!) Students learned how to import their picture into their word file and print them out. All the student's dreams were bound together to form a book.
