Students are using math and engineering concepts combined with children’s literature to learn about Martin Luther King, Jr. in all STEM classes this week. First grade students read the book “Martin’s Dream” by Jane Kurtz, which tells about MLK’s dream of equality for all people. Students learned how balance scales show equality through measurement and worked in teams to create their own balance scale models.
