I Have a Dream...

In honor of MLK, JR's birthay, we talked about his "Dream" speech & life events on a preschool level. I then showed the boys pictures of children from all different races. I asked them what looked different about them. Gavin did most of the talking, & I have to say it was amazing to me that he never mentioned their differences in skin color. He would say, "This one is a girl & this one is a boy," or "This girl has yellow hair & this one has brown." I wasn't sure if I should even tell him about the differences in race but thought I needed to to explain the speech. I then had each kiddo pick out 10 pictures to glue on a collage & told them that because of MLK, they could all be friends. Before being prompted Gavin said, "Mommy, I have a dream that one day I'll go to Cael"s house." So sweet!
