This week in P2 we learned about the essence of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It began Friday when I brought a white egg to school and our neighbor teacher in P1, Ms. Encarnacao, brought a brown egg to school. All day long we would mention to the kids that each of our eggs was the best. At the end of the day we combined our classes so that we could resolve this "dispute". 

We asked the kids to help us settle this once and for all, guiding them with the question, "Well, what is the most important part of the egg?" Of course the kids replied that it is the inside that is the most important because that is the part that we eat. It was then decided that we would judge which egg is best by the insides. As you can guess, when we broke our eggs open we discovered that they are exactly the same on the inside. Once opened we could no longer tell which egg was which. 

Finally, we combined our yolks in to one container to model how through Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's dream we no longer are separated by the color of our skin, but can live in unity and friendship with one another.
