Use the Force is a new addition to After School at
Highlander Charter School. This class brings together about 12 Star Wars
fans in 2nd-4th grade to participate in creative, themed activities while learning about how to fight the dark side.
Our class
began in September with a ceremony where all of the students took the
Padawan Oath to fight the dark side and be kind. Upon completion of
their oath, they tied their Padawan belts. We spent the next few classes
talking about how to identify the Dark Side (bullying, unkind words,
disrespect, etc.) and what we can do to help. We also spread kindness
and love by writing thank you notes to teachers and parents, and taping
posters with positive messages in the upstairs hallway.
This month,
we have made light sabers, painted pictures, learned how to draw Yoda,
and built star ships with Legos. We have also created Star Wars
identities, complete with unique names, pets, and planets.
Next week, look forward to droids using recycled materials. Pictures to follow.
