MLK Respect Circle Project

First grade dedicated this week's Respect Circle to Martin Luther King, Jr.  In addition to learning about Dr. King and his message, we listened to a song by Jack Johnson called "Two Hands."  Below are the lyrics, as well as a link to the song on YouTube for you to hear it.  We traced our hands and created a display for our hallway using our own two hands and the lyrics to honor Dr. King.

I can change the world

With my own two hands

Make it a better place

With my own two hands

Make it a kinder place

With my own two hands

With my own

With my own two hands

I can make peace on earth

With my own two hands

I can clean up the earth

With my own two hands

I can reach out to you

With my own two hands

With my own

With my own two hands

I'm going to make it a brighter place

With my own two hands

I'm going to make it a safer place

With my own two hands

I'm going to help the human race

With my own two hands

With my own

With my own two hands

I can hold you

With my own two hands

I can comfort you

With my own two hands

But you've got to use

Use your own two hands

Use your own

Use your own two hands

With our own

With our own two hands

With my own

With my own two hands

Two Hands by Jack Johnson (featuring Ben Harper)
