We read the book What’s My Superpower? by Aviaq Johnston.  This book is about a young Inuk girl named Nalvana.  She loves the idea of superheroes and is curious about what superpower she might have. As Nalvana goes about her days, she identifies and names the special talents or powers of those around her. Some of her friends are able to run swiftly, almost fly in their swings, and carve beautiful ice sculptures, but Nalvana can do none of those things. After spending so long trying to find what she does well, she begins to feel discouraged until her mother points out what she does best – making others feel good about themselves.  This book inspired us to think about our own superpower.

The children were asked to draw a recognizable picture about their own special talent and tell a story about it.  They were also invited to use the letter sounds that they knew to label their drawing or write a sentence about their picture.

The work that you see in your child’s blogfolio was done completely independently.
