Visit from a Hero

Since we are in the midst of Hero Month here at Ridgeway, our third graders welcomed a local firefighter to speak to them. He explained the requirements of his job and why he chose this career. The students also had LOTS of question for him:)

Celebrating Heroes

Here at Ridgeway, the month of January is dedicated to heroes. Third graders began by viewing Kid President's thoughts on heroes. Then we discussed the differences between idols and heroes. 

Students began brainstorming about their heroes in order to write essays about why they honor and admire them.
