The week of Martin Luther King Day and the Inauguration, we read these two books to our classes. We read about Martin Luther King and how he paved the way for our first African American President. The books also explained what an Inauguration is and how the President takes the oath of office. It also talked about the whole Inauguration day and what to expect. It worked out great because the students got to watch the Inauguration on TV at school and saw first hand what we had talked about and read. They were really excited. What a great teaching moment that they will remember the rest of their lives.
