We've been really trying to work on having a close school-community. I just want my students to be good people. Yes...I care about teaching them their math facts, phonics skills, remembering to put a period at the end of their sentence, etc. etc. etc. BUT, I really want my students to be kind to one another and to always go out of their way to do the right thing. So... here's what we did. We compared ourselves to superheroes.
Naturally. ;)
We brainstormed characteristics of our favorite superheroes. Then, we compared them to how we can be. How can we be strong? Kind? Helpful?
Then, my students wrote how they can be everyday superheroes!
Oh my word... do you LOVE the
magnetic strips that are framing out our writing page?
I also ADORE these
direction pictures from A Cupcake For the Teacher!
I had to hang this writing up because my students BLEW me away! Luckily, I had the cutest
superhero-themed bulletin board from
Teacher Created Resources.
I know... I know... you have border envy, right? This cute
chevron/stripe/polka dot border is from
Teacher Created Resources, too (I heart them)!
I'm also loving that clipart from
Creative Clips!
