After reading “A Picture Book of Martin Luther King Jr.” and “Martin’s Big Words,” the class shared their own dreams for the world. The students hoped for no more bullies, no animal cruelty, no homelessness, no littering and more. Each student wrote down their dreams and decorated a dream cloud as part of an “I Have a Dream” collaborative banner for the classroom.
