Martin Luther King, Jr.
Here is the link to the Simsbury HS website about Dr. King’s time in CT. I’ve also attached the powerpoint we use in 5th grade to discuss his time here and the impact it had on his life’s path. You might be interested in the MLK scavenger hunt. I attached it all… use whatever you’d like.
Maybe something to tuck away for next year and would be a great mini unit before our 5th grade GRE.
