The Crayon Box That Talked Update {Freebies: MLK, JR.}

I used my “cold” day off from school today to update a few freebies.  
Let me first apologize for how awful they were the first round.  
Oh.My.Gosh.  #forreal #whatwasithinking
The posts here, here, and here get pinned so often and I cringe every.dang.time.
{I’m pretty sure I’ll be deleting these 2012 posts very soon!}
And let’s not even talk about the pictures. #seriouslypeare  
But, just in case you do want to use the activities, here you go!
Updated & ready to go!
One of my favorite books to read to discuss 
how we are all special and unique is “The Crayon Box That Talked.” 

This book is such a great way to help our kiddos 
learn to appreciate how we are all different, unique, and special!

This is a picture from my 2012 post.  {Cringe!}

I really have no idea what I had students write, it was sooo long ago!

But I am pretty sure it had to do with what if we were only one color, etc.

One year, we also decorated our own personal crayons
and wrote how special we are.
If you need a crayon pattern, I found this great one
 by The Teacher’s Wife on Bloghoppin!

I also like to incorporate dreams into our MLK, JR leanring!
The big rainbow is a class collaboration project.
We each wrote a dream on a strip of paper, sat in a circle, and shared!
I’ve also used this idea as an individual activity,
using a cloud + rainbow strips.

  1. I used your "Dreams are Colorful" last year and it was such a special activity for my students! Thank you so much for sharing all these great ideas & freebies. I need to find a copy of that book! Jen 🙂
