I'm so thankful for a day off of school! It allowed us to have an extra low stress day. It was lovely! We slept in, ate a yummy breakfast, got in some game playing, laundry, exercising, blog reading, and yes I even did some things for school.
However, I'd be remised if I didn't express gratitude for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As I've taught my third graders about this man and his dreams for America over the past week which will continue this week. It has been interesting discussing segregation, civil rights, and equality and hearing their points of view.
While I do believe the simple version of Dr. King's dream has come true... I do still believe we have a long way to go as a society to accomplish the real intent I heard when listening to his speech in its entirety today for the first time. So, let's keep moving towards the end goal. I know its attainable if we can put our pride aside.
Also, to the state of AZ... I'm disappointed you've renamed the holiday Human Rights Day. Give Dr. King some credit!
