Heroes

Having a storytime on September 11 can be a bit challenging, but I wanted to get across the idea that all of us can be superheroes when we need to. We talked a lot about community helpers and what they do. We read some books about dressing up as a superhero and having adventures. I tried to balance the fun with the serious, but I don't think I quite got there. I'll try to bump things up a notch for this particular storytime before next year. We read the three books below, did a Community Helpers Dress-Up flannel board and the Best Super Hero Suit flannel board, and made super hero bracelets/cuffs with construction paper, then taped the ends together to fit their wrists.
