We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring a little of what our OPP families receive each month into your classrooms, clubs, and homes! 🎨💛
Our characters and animations are created in-house by Oliver Patch Project and shared with our Warriors each month. Now, we’re building free lessons around those same stories so more kids can learn, create, and connect.
This month’s character trait is courage, and our Unlikely Pair Parade lesson includes:
✏️ Design a Parade Float... differentiated worksheets for K–1, 2–3, and 4–5, with drawing space and sentence stems to help students identify different strengths and how they contribute to a community.
✂️ Build a Parade Float... a hands-on art project that brings students’ ideas to life in 3D.
🖍️ A coloring sheet featuring our OPP characters, who come to life in the accompanying animation!
We’ve also included national standards alignments for Common Core English Language Arts and the National Core Arts Standards for visual arts, along with connections to CASEL’s social-emotional learning competencies.
Whether you’re teaching a class, leading an art club or community group, or creating with your kids at home... these resources are for you. And they’re 100% free!
Keep an eye on your inbox for this month’s lesson... emailing it to you TOMORROW! Not on our email list yet? Sign up through the link in our bio to receive a new character trait lesson each month! ✨
