Has anyone read the Kid Writing book and implemented the
ideas?

A year or two ago, I saw a teacher using cut-outs of tools
- a hammer, a saw, etc. - as picture reminders to help
primary students use specific decoding skills. For example,
the saw reminded the students to "break the word into
smaller parts" or something to that effect. I can not find
any information anywher...See More/blockquote>

see if anyone on this chatboard has worked with something
similar. I would be happy with a bookmark, "poster",
anything - I just need some help figuring out what word
attack skills to put with what tool. Thank you for any help
you can give! : )

THE VISION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. IS REMEMBERED
By Phyllis
C. Murray
The historic march on Washington, D.C. took place on August
28, 1963. At that time Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. had the
support of labor unions, religious groups, and "all people
gallantly engaged in the struggle for freedom and
dignity." On March 14, 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
became the first African American to receive the John Dewey
Award of the United Federation of Teachers.
Albert Shanker, the President of the United Federation of
Teachers, presented this award to Dr. King for his
outstanding contribution to the education of all
Americans. The Award Citation recognized King's belief
that all students should have an equal opportunity to
achieve success. It acknowledged King's further
understanding of the important role educators play in our
society.
During King's acceptance speech, he stressed the need for
the passage of the Civil Rights Bill in the United States
Senate. Dr. King felt this bill would help rid America of
every vestige of segregation. He also stated that
segregation was "a new form of slavery," "a caste system."
King viewed segregation as socially and morally wrong and
sinful.
"Segregation is not only sociologically untenable,
segregation is politically and economically unsound," said
King. "Segregation is wrong, to use the words of the great
Jewish philosopher, Martin Buber, because it substitutes
and "I-it" relationship for an "I-thou" relationship.
Segregation is wrong because it is nothing but a new form
of slavery covered up with certain niceties of complexity."
Dr. King urged all persons of good will to join the
thousands of Americans who were "gallantly engaged in the
struggle for freedom and human dignity." He wanted to make
the American dream a reality for all citizens. Nonviolent
direct action would be the means to that end.
The Civil Rights Bill was passed in 1964. Martin Luther
King was assassinated in 1968.
"The sudden and violent death of Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., places a serious and profound obligation on all
Americans, black and white -- and obligation to continue
and broaden the now still efforts of Dr. King to build a
society where racial justice and peace prevail," said
Albert Shanker."That dream of a new and just American
Society is shared by million upon millions of Americans --
and that dream will not die. We have been proud to walk
with Dr. King in Mississippi and in Washington and to work
with him in establishing freedom schools in the South. In
this tragic hour, we rededicate ourselves for his cause,"
said Albert Shanker President, UFT, upon learning of the
death of Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr.
Today, The Sixties (1960-1969) is remembered as the
turbulent decade in which five civil rights leaders were
assassinated: John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Malcolm
X, Medgar Evers, and Martin L. King. The Sixties is also
remembered as the decade in which three courageous young
civil rights workers, Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and
James Chaney were murdered in Mississippi by the Klu Klux
Klan: Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman were shot to
death at point blank range and James Chaney was brutally
beaten and shot three times in the face. All three bodies
were buried in a dam until they were recovered by the FBI.
As we move through the 21st Century, the dream of a new
and just American society must not die because "Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." The dream of a
new and just American society must not die because it is a
dream based on the American dream of liberty and justice
for all. The dream of a new and just American Society will
not die because "The arc of the universe is long but it
bends toward justice."
This I believe.
