Recently in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., students read books about his life and legacy and voted as a class about which book to recommend to the rest of the school as part of a special assembly. 

Here in the 2nd grade they read two books: Boycott Blues, which narrates the bus boycott in Montgomery County, and My Brother Martin, a book that describes Dr. King's childhood from his sister's perspective. 

Both books sparked meaningful conversation and when the class voted, they had a perfectly even tie! Some children preferred My Brother Martin because it told stories about Dr. King's childhood and what led him to become an activist, and others preferred Boycott Blues because it focused on the greater movement of which Dr. King was part. 

The children decided to recommend both books to the rest of the school.
