MLK

No school today--Dr. King's birthday is celebrated in the USA with federal, state and county workers off in many localities.

I remembered the beautiful song my daughter's choir sang in 1999 or so when she was in high school. Took me forever to figure out what the title meant--I'm so culturally clueless sometimes. Here are some versions of that beautiful composition to appreciate:

Baylor University version

RO MASCHILE LA STELE version

Thanks to Langston Hughes for the label quote.

Disclaimer

OT Tools for Public Schools is a blog for therapists, teachers, parents and anyone else who is interested in creative ideas for helping students "show what they know." It is not a replacement for private occupational therapy, special education, related services or general education in public/private settings. It is not a "medical" site, medical or allied health advice is not offered, and the reader is encouraged to use his/her knowledge of the individual child to decide whether or not an activity might be beneficial or potentially harmful to the child.
Since most of the activities mentioned are created from everyday, inexpensive materials, the reader is warned to consider the special needs of his/her student(s) and avoid using any materials which may potentially cause allergic reactions or other negative responses. Direct supervision of the child is required when materials are used.
Now that I've scared you to smithereens, go have fun with these ideas!
