It was the perfect lead-in to read Hero Dad by Melinda Hardin. They save people, they get the bad guys, and they protect us all came out in the discussion. The volunteer leader then asked the kids what heroes do. We actually found a superhero bulletin board set at a local teachers' store with some cut outs of superheroes to use. They added scenery and taped their super hero on the page. While the adults heard a report from downrange, listened to a guest speaker, asked questions, and met in their battery/company FRG groups, the kids were having some superhero fun.Īfter eating, the kids created a background on construction paper for their paper hero (already on the tables). The kids always love getting a glimpse of the Soldiers before they head off to their corner of the room for fun kid stuff. We started with an Italian Night potluck (which was delicious!) and watched a short slide show featuring our heroes in Iraq. Our recent FRG meeting was focused on Superheroes.
