I asked my little posse to write down four facts about Martin Luther King, Jr. today while we watched a short video about his life. As we were sharing the collected facts with the class, one of my sweet girls, in her quiet little voice said, "I wrote down that he said, 'hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.'". It was one of those moments when heaven touches earth and you know that you are in a holy moment. The class was quiet, my eyes got misty, and I said, "boys and girls, I want to live like that, don't you?". My most feisty boy yelled out, "I DO TOO, MRS. WOOD!!!!". Typically, he would have had to move his clip for blurting out, but we let it go that time. I love my posse. I hope that they will always live like that...
