Zero the Hero Arrives in Second Grade

I have missed the Zero the Hero train in the past. Not sure how, but I am on it now.
As we were counting down up our days in school (one of my favorite things to teach...more to come on this), my students kept asking about Zero the Hero and if he/she were appearing this year. I couldn't say no especially since I have big plans for the 50th day of school.

I knew I wanted to spice it up for what had been done in Kindergarten and first grade. This is what I came up with.

Zero the Hero goodies for 10th, 20th, & 40th day

I found this book Zero by Kathryn Otoshi and loved it. My students love stories. So perfect fit! Love when this happens. The story is about how zero goes from trying to fit in and then realize how it can be important. This happens by finding the light. Notice how the "o" is different colors. I figured the round object to go with it would be glow sticks.

To make it more then just a treat, Zero the Hero left notes on everything. The note on the book told why we received this story.

 There was note about why we received the lights. But...

before we could open it we had to answer three questions based on the story. 

Once it was all put together, it looked like this. 

 Zero the Hero left the treats in two of the book boxes. Solved the problem of who got to open and read what. 

Here we are with the first present and reading the note. 

 Opening the second goodie. 

 Then what fun would it be if you can't pretend the glow sticks are light sabers, right?

Any other great Zero the Hero ideas?
