Now that we have gotten settled from our exciting and blessed holiday vacations, it is time to return to the daily routines of our lives. Back to school and back to work!!!!!!!

 

It the month of January, we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a time when all of humanity should celebrate with dignity and pride, especially those in the African-American community.

 

I have compiled a short list of sites that you can visit to learn more about the great man, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I enjoyed all the sites. I hope you will also!

Fun Stuff

 

Send your family, friends, and teacher a virtual postcard. You'll have tons of fun choosing pictures and adding music and sending the cards to those dearest to you! It's great! My students send virtual postcards to me all the time. As a courtesy, I send them one in return. You'll like it! I know you will:
