Heroes: Pk-3

Jessica's Week:

This Monday was Martin Luther King Day and I wanted to celebrate it with our school day but couldn’t see stretching this into a week long event so I chose to try an overarching hero theme. Monday we did Dr. King, Tuesday military heroes, Wednesday (skip...we had a lot of extra stuff going on), Thursday Jesus our ultimate hero, and we finished the week with everyday, every person heroes...aka how Taegan can show heroic qualities to those around her. I think this was a bit much to cover in back to back days with a three yr old...the connection of “heroes” in all these different lessons was pretty much lost on her thus the days seemed disjointed and a little hard to follow but once we got past that hurdle they actually were good themes and we had some fun learning.

​For MLK we did different on the outside, but same on the inside experiments. Taegan seemed to easily grasp the concept that although each of us are unique and may have different shapes, skin colors etc we all have the same emotions on the inside. Military day was fun because we have a scrapbook of the year Daddy deployed with cool items, pictures, and stories she got to explore. We learned about each branch of the military with diy puzzles and got to take a visit inside a navy submarine at the science center. For Jesus as our hero we did several “play through the Bible” lessons studying the miracles Jesus performed during his time on earth and then talked about why he is still our Hero today and how we can be more like him. On our final day I let Taegan dress up as her favorite superhero “cat boy” from pj mask and together we found some ways she could be a hero in everyday life. Holding the door for someone, putting away the silverware, making a card to send to a sad friend, and encouraging her ponies to stop fighting and let everyone take turns are just a few of the heroic things she came up.
