Free Martin Luther King Jr. Resources And FreeBEE Friday Link Up

*This post contains affiliate links. Please see my Disclosure Page for details.


Welcome to FreeBEE Friday. Every Friday I will share a great list of educational FreeBEE resources. PLUS...there's the added bonus of this being a monthly link up...where you can showcase your freebie posts or discover more amazing freebies from my blogging friends. The blogger link up will start on the first Friday of every month and end on the first day of the following month. Each month there will be a new link up. Link up anything that is educational and FREE including GIVEAWAYS!

Martin Luther King FreeBEEs:
Monday is Martin Luther King Day...it is also Gwyn's 8th birthday! We live in Atlanta so learning about Martin Luther King's life and accomplishments and the impact he had on the civil rights movement is important to us. Every January we take a day or two to learn more about him!

I would like to encourage you and your children to get out and participate in a service project this month. If you live in Georgia be sure to check the Pebble Tossers website for some community service projects. Also be sure to check out the post I wrote last year with some volunteering ideas.

Thanks for these!! My son came home from school full of information, questions and excitement about MLK yesterday and will be so happy to do some of these over the weekend

This is perfect! My kiddos came home from school this week spouting off all the things they'd learned about Martin Luther King, Jr. I was really glad that their curriculum at school included learning about this very important historical figure. These are great resources to encourage them to keep learning at home!

I really like Chicken Noodle soups! Have to try out your paleo version too.

Sounds like a great thing for your family! I don't know if I could live without pasta - I try to eat it as little as possible and have cut down quite a bit.

My daughter likes to ham it up and probably would not go far onthe show.

Don't laugh! When I first saw the title I thought you were going to talk about how you visited there! This book does sound amazing. I can see why it would be on your bucket list.

Great idea, egg drop soup plus chicken! I'm adding this to the grocery list, I'm needing new low carb ideas!
