What is a Superhero?

3rd-5th graders are working on a Superhero Unit learning about:

• heroic characteristics
• themselves & what is important to them by looking at heroes
• current events and roles heroes are playing in society
• Real human heroes in our community, nation and world
• how to show appreciation for a hero in their own lives or a hero from the past who has had an influence on them

Right now, they are creating their own hero and choosing a current issue or adversity for the hero to address. Then they will create a physical model of their hero! It will be super exciting to see what they create.
