The kids are very excited about our upcoming HERO project! We will be learning about 10 American heroes: Paul Revere, Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Mary McLeod Bethune, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Thurgood Marshall, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Cesar Chavez.
In addition, we will be having a HERO DAY in February or March where the students will teach us about their hero. Their hero cannot be one of the 10 we are studying AND they must read a book about their hero. (Yes, that does limit them somewhat.) I will be sending home complete details about their project later in the month, but I wanted to share their excitement with you. I hope you have some great discussions at home about what a hero is and who your heroes are!
While there is no need to start on the project, I wanted you to know what they have been told and to reassure you that you will be getting clear instructions later.
