A celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The first grade had a powerful lesson on diversity and equality.
Mrs. Mc Gowan's 1st grade class took a brown colored egg and a white colored egg and talked about how they looked different. 
Mrs. McGowan then cracked both eggs to see what they looked like on the inside...which the children learned is exactly the same.
The children related this to themselves and learned that we may all look different on the outside, put we are all the same on the inside. Therefore, everyone should be treated equally. The class completed this activity to go along with their celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his powerful message of equality, love, peace and acceptance.
