First grade has been spending a lot of time in library thinking about heroes and what it takes to be a hero. It was with this in mind that we watched a video about a Philadelphia pizza shop that is helping to feed the homeless.
After watching the video, we discussed who the hero was in the video and agreed that it wasn't just the person who owned the pizza shop, but every person who bought a slice a pizza for someone they will never know. It was at this point that students started to share how they could be heroes in their own way.
In our next class, we discussed out own personal heroes and gathered words that described our heroes. We then created awards for our heroes which used both words and pictures to describe what it was about our heroes that we so admired. And of course, we continued to find and read books about famous heroes.
