Our 2nd-grade students spent February diving into the lives and legacies of four incredible American icons. Through a variety of hands-on activities, they explored the courage and character of these history-makers:

Our Featured Heroes:

• Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: Students learned about his dream for equality and how to lead with kindness.
• Rosa Parks: Discussing the power of standing up (or sitting down!) for what is right.
• Jackie Robinson: Exploring how he broke barriers in sports with courage and grace.
• Ruby Bridges: Learning about the bravery of a young student who changed education forever.

Learning in Action:

From creative writing prompts about their own dreams for the world to artistic tributes and storytelling, our 2nd graders connected deeply with these stories of perseverance. We are so proud of our young learners for honoring the past as they grow into the leaders of the future!
