=Welcome to Warsaw Elementary School's wiki for Martin Luther King!=


 * This wiki came about because two teachers (Dannie Foster and Monica Henry Ruffin) wanted their students to collaborate on a project. More information about the project is listed below. **** Through this wiki we will provide information, pictures, worksheets, resources and more to identify and appraise information, to allow students formulate their own rendition. **
 * Thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy and find it useful! **

//**Mrs. Foster' 5th grade/ Mrs. Ruffin's 2nd grade and Mrs. Pearsall's 5th grade/Mrs. Bell's 2nd grade collaboration**//
