First Grade Superheroes

First Graders are Superheroes for Their Families

First graders have created their own Superhero identities!

To help them in creating their secret superhero identity, first graders made connections with how they can be superhero helpers at home. Students explored all of the jobs, tasks, and responsibilities that need to happen everyday for them and their families to have comfortable, healthy, happy homes. Students thought about how they could help to contribute to their families and homes as superheroes with superpowers!

Students worked on brainstorming sessions in ILIS to think about all of the tasks that go into making a home run successfully. They made idea maps connecting all of the jobs and tasks that have to happen to make a meal, get everyone to different spaces, keep a house clean, etc.

To help students learn more about being family and community helpers, Lori Sugarman-Li came for an author visit to the Kovler Library and read her newly released book: “Our Home: The Love, Work and Heart of Family." This book shares the idea that everyone needs to contribute and work together to make a home a happy and comfortable place. The book also makes connections with deeper ideas on how all members of a family can and should all help each other. These goals connect to the ILIS goals of thinking about collaboration and the larger school mission of citizenship, including the Parker phrase, "Everything to help and nothing to hinder."

After they brainstormed and made the community helper maps, first grade students created their own superhero identity and chose what superhero powers they wanted to have. Next, they chose ways they could use their superpowers to help their families and contribute to their household. The final step for their superhero identity creation was to design a logo for their superhero! Using pencil and paper, students sketched out designs that represented the characters they created. Next, they used Cricut design software to transfer their sketches into a digital format. Once their superhero logos were created on the Cricut software, we used the Cricut machine to cut out and iron their logos onto to their own superhero cape!
