MLK according to 4-yr old Jo

Jo came home from 4k today with a rainbow DREAM sticker on her dress.
For a change, she was eager to tell me what she did at school.

Jo: We learned about Martin Luther King.
Me: What did you learn about him?
Jo: He was a man who wants everyone to be nice and kind and all together. Then he died and they had to bury him.
Me: Yes, you are right.

After this lesson on MLK, Jo brought out a pair of white mittens (made with two pieces of paper sewn together with yarn). She made them at school last week, but forgot to bring them home until today. Then Jo took on the character of Nicki (a boy who drops one of his snow-white mittens while playing outside) and re-told the story of The Mitten by Jan Brett, a Ukranian folktale.

Jo sang (to the tune of Farmer In the Dell):
The mitten is on the ground; the mitten is on the ground
Heigh-ho, its cold outside,
The mitten is on the ground.
The Mole snuggles in,
The Mole snuggles in,
Heigh-ho its cold outside!
The mitten is on the ground.

She sang several verses of this song (for the rabbit, hedgehog, owl, badger, fox, bear and mouse). CoCo helped pull out each of the animals right on cue and Jo snuggled them into her paper mitten. When the mouse tries to snuggle in, his whiskers tickle the bear's nose. The bear sneezes and all the animals fly out of the mitten. Then Nicki finds his mitten and proudly shows his grandma that he didn't lose his mittens in the snow.

After shoveling out the driveway (which requires tossing the snow up and over towering retaining walls), I'm ready to snuggle in for the night.
