Up, Up, and Away!

Oh my, where to begin!  This summer got off to a lazy start and by lazy I mean I kicked it for one whole week before I put myself into overdrive.  I've created 14 activities that I CAN'T WAIT to try with my class next year/in just a couple of weeks!  I've uploaded them to my TpT store, all for under $2.50!  More about those in later posts.  I also just uploaded pictures of all the things I want to share with you, however, I'm sure you don't want to spend the next hour starting a novel comparable to a George R. R. Martin book so I will try to contain myself!

Today we'll talk a little about superheros!  Our school theme next year.  If you're looking for some superhero inspiration feel free to check out my superhero theme board on Pinterest.  I've gotten basically all of my idea's from there, where did I ever find inspiration before I stumbled onto that web site!?

Here are a few pictures of my pinspirations...

Blow pop superhero's!
I maybe got a little ahead of myself and made shoe wings to give my students for Christmas...ridiculous, but cute!
Wonder Woman socks (with CAPES!) and Shoe Wings!
I wonder how wearing this outfit on the first day  would affect my class size :)
I got the blow pop cape and goggles template @ zakkalife!
The Wonder Woman caped socks are from Wacky Planet!
Silver Shoe Wings are from Shwings!  I made a template using my Shwings and traced them on stiff felt to make shoe wings for my whole class.

Finally, I found this awesome Superhero Identity Packet at Family Fun!  I'm going to use it on the first day as an ice breaker for students to work on together while I sort their supplies and take their first day pictures.  Since they will be working somewhat independently I needed to simplify it.  I used some of the Family Fun packet in mine and provided a little more space for pictures.  I'm going to post mine below if you'd like to use it, however if you have older students who are capable of more writing definitely use the Family Fun packet, it's totally adorable and light-years better than mine!

I hope you all enjoy your last few weeks of vacation!
