3 Activities to Celebrate MLK Day in Brooklyn
Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a day where we reflect, remember and celebrate all the important contributions made by this American humanitarian. Most children study some part of his legacy in their classrooms but it is a great idea to expand their knowledge through some hands-on yet educational experiences outside of school and since children are off of school for MLK day, it is an awesome idea to accompany them to any of the many celebratory activities in NYC. I looked up 3 activities in Brooklyn, Ny that promise to be fun & educational!
