What TV shows did we cherish when we were young? What did we learn from them? What makes a hero (both real or imagined), and how can we learn from them (even the villains) and the inner- hero inside of us? We explored those concepts and more in What I Learned From The Incredible Hulk by Amiee Nezhukumatahil.
Lesson Note: Have you heard? Recently a Harvard social scientist found that posing like a superhero increases confidence and creates lasting positive change! Superman actor Christopher Reeve noted, ‘I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” And singer Bob Dylan adds: ‘I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with their freedom.”

What I Learned from My Little Pony
by Audra M.
Friendship is magic
It flows through the air like a steady breeze
Every pony united through unbreakable odds.
Hoofs clicking
Wings flapping
Horns poking
Magic swooshing
Each pony is unique,
With curie-marks prove it
Every pony has a special talent
They just need to find it
Not just ponies,
Griffins, changelings, alicorns, unicorns, pegasus
and many, many more
Friendship is key
And magic makes it all complete.
Mickey Mouse!
By Caelan G.
“I’m Micky Mouse & I have lots of
friends. Mickey Mouse is a TV show
, or is it real? Well, you can decide
That on your own!
“Be kind to our friend, Pete.” Pete was the
bad guy, but in every kid’s TV show, they
become friends. “Uh-Oh!” We gotta move these
sheep! They problem-solve.
Micky Mouse is a mouse that wears
red shorts & yellow shoes. A tiny, tiny tail.
A smile on his face, no matter what.
Can I say “Misca, Mosca, Micky Mouse”?
Is that Donald? Can I see him? OOH!
Can I move into your house? Please!

TV Show Poem
by Jovani H.
What I learned from Spongebob Squarepants
is to always have fun and to explore new things
and always be nice.
Even when you mess up-keep going
Always be nice to everyone; if someone
is sad, help them out.
Spongebob would wear square pants
and his square pajamas.
What’s it like in Bikini Bottom?
What fun do you have?
Is Krusty Krab a good workplace?

What I Learned from The Amazing World of Gumball
by Sloan L.
Every day is a new day filled with laughter and love
Friends, family, and amusement
In our world, everyone is so different
yet still the same.
Fur as blue as the ocean scales orange as the sand
together, we sit, hand in hand
The sun is setting, and here I lay
My mother and I, at the end of the day.
Together, we dream, together we learn
together, we think of the love we yearn
my brother and I.
TV Show Poem: Paw Patrol
by Kendall D.
As I lay, Ryder and I
are talking about his
dogs that have so
many gifted talents
We were wearing shiny
vests that shined like
limestones. The whole
town could see us. It
made us feel like movie
stars.
He found how to be a
help to our community like
a vacuum is to the carpet
we learned how to respect
each other, like a true friend
does.
These friends of mine taught
me my life lessons that
I am currently doing
now.
