Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Resources

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is coming up! It's a Staff Development Day in our school district, so the kids will be home, but you may want to use a couple of these resources in your classroom during this week. Check out this excellent video about Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thank you KB ... Konnected for sharing this great "find"!
