Our social studies time is from 10:30-11:00, an appropriate time to teach my students about the historical implications and the meaning/purpose of the inauguration. I read them the childrens biography entitled "Happy Birthday Martin Luther King", and explained the significance of todays inauguration of the first African-American President; and the relationship with MLK's dream. My students were engaged with the lesson and eager to learn more about the significance of Obama's Inauguration. We defined and discussed the terms: inauguration, equality, oath, and constitution. We also recited the oath that Barack Obama would take (although we did not fumble the words-haha). I picked them up from lunch early, 11:30, so they wouldnt miss a single moment! We had a lot of fun watching it on this very special day. :)
