We just watched "Beatrice's Goat," the movie of the book that we told you about, which Emily got out of the library and brought to school. We saw the real Beatrice!
We have been working on our community activist projects. We studied these four people: Cesar Chavez, Dan West, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. We read books about them. They're all community activists. Community activists can change things. If they see a problem they get people together to try to fix it. They can change the world!!!
We made these posters. They're really big!
We cut out real pictures of the people, and wrote facts about them. Like, did you know that people protested with a sit-in because some restaurants only used to let white people sit down at the counter and not brown people? After a lot of protests and marches and speeches and reports on TV the laws got changed.
We also made some block projects.
And posters about stuff we found out.
It was hard work doing this, but it was fun!
Adios, families! Hasta manana!
The First Graders
Wow this was such a great project, we wish we had learnt about these community activists at your age. We are sure you are all growing up wanting to make the world a better place, well done everyone, and we loved the freedom farm video!
