After talking about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. we did this art project. It is so funny to see how completely foreign this subject is to the children in this class. They do not understand why people are treated differently based on looks, socioeconomic status, disability, etc.... They just love each other and all people. Now - they do have their moments of controversy, but overall - we are the same. It was really inspirational to hear them share their thoughts on "getting along with each other" (as I finally had to explain.) Children are much wiser than we give them credit. God made us all special and wonderful and unique - so who would think that was a bad thing, right? Embrace differences and grow in His love - that is what it is really all about!!!!
