South Hunterdon Regional Middle School celebrated MLK across various subjects and grade levels. Students collaborated and shared creative ideas within the classrooms. 7th and 8th graders connected their readings to a wide variety of topics.
Seventh grade students discussed how the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, “Injustice anywhere is a thread to justice everwhere,” connects to something Ned experiences in Code Talker.
An idea from All Quiet on the Western Front is that soldiers become “machines” or “beasts” trained to survive, not to think.
Martin Luther King Jr. warned that violence turns people into objects rather than human beings. Eighth graders discussed how both All Quiet on the Western Front and Martin Luther King Jr. show that violent system (war,racism, militarism) can erase individuality or dehumanize people.
Overall students enjoyed the opportunity to think and discuss creativity with their peers. Thank Mrs. Williamson for all of your support! |
Students in 5th and 6th grade had the opportunity to discuss Martin Luther King Jr in Mrs. McCarthy’s class. She supports students in respectfully sharing their perspectives on various topics related to MLK. Students discussed segregation and how it connects to other books read in class. Students enjoyed diving in to various ideas and find hidden connections to the various novels they have been reading. Thank you Mrs. McCarthy for encouraging a creative welcoming space to encourage students to share ideas! Students enjoyed reading more articles and books on Martin Luther Kind Jr as well and expand their knowledge!
Mr. Engle and Holohan worked with 5th-8th grade students as well in the History world. Students had the opportunity to discuss MLK in relation to history class and discuss related themes during this time period. In addition, students were able to get creative in art class and creative live demonstrations of this special leader. Students enjoyed the opportunity to use different materials to bring their vision to life. Thank you Mrs. Carril for encouraging students to think outside of the box!

The Counseling Department Hosted Hunterdon Prevention Resources on the topic of Cyber Security and Social Media.
Our 5th-8th grade students had the opportunity to learn the importance of being safe online and the impact of cyberbullying! The internet can be a wonderful tool, but it can present certain risks to the user. This program teaches responsible online behavior and safety strategies.
Some of the topics covered were as follows: safety concerns using social media and games, understanding the impact and consequences of your social media behavior, Cyber bullying, and Internet predators. Students will learn about the “digital footprint” their behavior is leaving behind.
