For the month of January and the theme of Vision, the Theme Exploration classes have been learning about children with vision. The spotlight this week was with the children of the 1st-5th grade class at 9:30 and the 1st-3rd grade class at 11:30in which they learned about the Children’s March of 1963 where 2,000 children were arrested in Birmingham, Alabama while fighting for their civil rights. It highlighted how successful a march can be and how big a role children can play. It was an especially poignant lesson as it came just one day after the Women’s March where 3.5 million people marched world-wide, including more than half the children in these classes. (The timing of this lesson was completely coincidental.)
