Today, we are going to Skype with an author who has written a fantastic book called, "What's Under Your Cape?" In this book, she helps children discover their strengths and super powers!
In a week or two, we're going to work with some kindergartners and first graders to help them discover their super powers (gifts, talents, strengths). We're going to find out which good character traits they have, teach them about Marble Theory, and help build their self-esteem so they can be confident and happy (which usually means that they'll treat others with kindness)!
Check out our list of character traits here. These are some ways that we can show good character in our interactions with others. Learn about them so you can identify these traits in your primary student!
Write some questions that help you get to know your mentee. Also, write a few notes about some stories you might tell to help your mentee feel better about themself.

- Whose superhero are you? Why?
- What's your superpower? Describe it.
- How do you use that superpower for good?
- What's your Kryptonite? {what weakens you?} Describe it.
- How are you going to ensure that the student you work with leaves feeling better about themself?
