Martin Luther King
Ethan learned about Martin Luther King at school which brought on many conversations about treating people fairly and also about how he died. I played dumb and asked him who Martin Luther King was. You should've seen the look that he gave me. He was just dumbfounded that I didn't know. He said, "A long time ago the brown people had to sit in the back of the bus and the white people sat in the front. Martin Luther King said that wasn't fair. Now everyone gets to sit together." That's a pretty simple way to put it. He also asked me a lot about why someone shot him. Tough question. I tried to simply answer it and move on.
The first grade performed at the PTA meeting that week. I decided to grab a pic of the boys before we left.

Jeremiah (?), Braden and Will. It was so cute seeing him run up to all of his friends and chat. I remember when I was his age and had evening programs at school. I always thought it was so fun to be in my school at night with my friends.
