Celebrating Martin Luther King Day in the Classroom

Celebrating Martin Luther King Day in the classroom is a valuable opportunity to teach your students about equality, diversity, and unity. Begin with brief, age-appropriate talks about Martin Luther King and his dream of a world where everyone is treated with kindness. Keep your chat short and leave time to answer questions your students may have about Dr. King and his work.

This is a great time to begin practicing random acts of kindness with preschool and kindergarten students as well. Encourage your little learners to engage in activities where they can express their unique dreams for a better world. Check out my Martin Luther King “I Have a Dream” Writing Activity for prompts you can use to facilitate this discussion.
