During the next few weeks, we’ll explore the
theme Heroes and Helpers. As we’ll discover,
this category can include anyone from caped
superheroes to people you see every day at
work, at school, or in your own mirror! As we
read, we’ll discuss the Big Idea “We can all make
a difference.”
In this first week, we’ll meet Mr. Tanen, a
school principal who uses his tie collection to
help his school. Mr. Tanen’s Tie Trouble is a
realistic fiction story about a hero and a helper.
Students will explore the question “When might
a character need help solving a problem?”
We’ll also read an informational text called
Playground Fun.
