Ms. Jocelyn’s kindergarten class decorated their door for black history month with their hands that they traced on construction paper because they were learning about Martin Luther King. “I learned that Martin Luther King did a lot for us and I liked cutting the hands out and coloring,” said Breanna Bouey, a kindergartner in Ms. Joceyln’s class.
