I am passionate about learning that is tailored to children's interests and gives lots of opportunity for children to be creative and critical thinkers. I think it's important that learning materials cater to a variety of learning styles and I try to make my resources have real-world applications whenever possible. These resources will not only engage your learners, but they'll save you time, so that you can focus on doing what you do best.

Inspire your students with this pack of six posters about Martin Luther King Jr., who was a man of great character and an exceptional orator whose words inspired many during his lifetime and continue to be a source of inspiration for us today.
I chose the quotes on these posters because they have the potential to motivate our students to have good character and to do good in the world. As such, they would make a great starting point for a discussion around ways to make the world a better place, small acts of kindness that make a difference, or dreams they might have for their future.
These would look great on a display for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Black History Month, or to display all year round.
What’s included?
One portrait poster
Five posters with quotes
Colour (bright, boho, neutrals, 70s vibe) and ink saver versions (“I have a dream” poster is ink saver only)
1 per page, and 2 per page so you can choose the size you like best
This 3D craft will give your students a fun way to apply their learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. as they colour, write, cut, and glue together the four parts to make a 3D display.
The four parts of the craft include:
a portrait to colour
key facts about Martin Luther King, Jr.
achievements
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Three line sizes are provided so you can choose what is best for your students.
There are suggested questions for the students to address, but I’ve included an editable version so you can use your own prompts that you’d like your students to focus on.
If you’re looking for a fun way to decorate your class for Lunar New Year while also having your students learn about the traditions of Lunar New Year, then this reading text and lucky red tassel weaving craft will be just what you’re after.

I hope your children have fun learning and decorating their class.
