The next couple of months we'll focus on writing and literature both in preparation of standardized testing, but also we'll be celebrating important events such as MLK JR. Holiday and Black History Month in February. We'll look at some quotes and events surrounding Dr. King's philosophy and African proverbs denoting culturally significant points of view. We hope to read more Georgia authors this month such as Dr King, Alice Walker, and others. Additionally, we'll read from old and new authors alike as we move closer to reaching our reading goals for this year.
Quotes to ponder
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If one is willing to wash your back for you, you can at least wash your own face. (African proverb)
There is always room for the people you love, even if the house is crowded (Tanzania). Hope you've enjoyed your holiday. See you back on January 5th.
Ms. Holden
