To celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in your classroom, have students create a Dream Board to incorporate into your Martin Luther King lesson plans.  First, read to them an age-appropriate biography about the great Civil Rights leader.  After a classroom discussion, have the children create a list of their “dreams” that can make our world a better place.   Next, give each student some white construction paper on which to list their dreams.  They should then cut in and out around what they wrote so each student’s writing looks like it’s on a cloud.  For a simple way to honor the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., post the dreams on a bulletin board with a sky-blue background and the words, “Continuing the Dream” at the top.
