What makes a hero? Strength? A cape? X-ray vision?
We read Dex the Heart of a Hero and came up with our own list of heroic traits. Students made the powerful point that a hero helps everyone, not just his friends.
Our discussions, stories and activities helped us to define heroic traits as those you often can't see on the outside but rather what's on the inside that counts.

Make today a great day!
