So, who's your favorite superhero?
As a kid I always liked Spiderman and the Incredible Hulk. Maybe you're a Superman fan, or Batman, or maybe you were into the more obscure superheroes like Green Lantern, Captain America, or Dwight Howard (you NBA dunk contest fans know what I'm talking about).
Nikki, one of our Wonder Club teachers, recently shared with me a great story about the new superhero that is capturing the imagination of her pre-kindergarten students:
During free play time at school one day, two of her students ended up sitting a table having a pretty intense discussion...
"So, who is your favorite superhero?"
"My favorite superhero is Jesus!"
"Really, Jesus is my favorite superhero, too!"
"No way, are you on Jesus' team, too?"
Superheroes can be great role models for young kids, they can teach us about character, justice, and courage. How exciting to see these 4 year-olds recognize a role model even greater than Superman.
