Honoring the Principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the Classroom and at Home

January 15, 2021 by Kristin Feltz

The pillar principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are on our hearts and minds today and every day.

Equality. Rights. Peace. Love.

We must continue to fight for equal rights and tear down and rebuild the systems built upon the unfair treatment of Black, Latinx, indigenous people and others. The time to teach our children love and equality starts at the very beginning of their lives. Here are some ways you can honor the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with young children both in the classroom and at home.
