School Lunch Superhero Day
Author Jarrett Krosoczka who writes the Lunch Lady graphic novel series started a trend with School Lunch Superhero Day. This year's celebration was on May 5th. My students created thank you notes for our Lunch Superheros:

| Thanks to my colleague, Mrs. Johnson for this poem! |
As soon as I saw this idea on Pinterest, I fell in love! My students created their own versions and did a fine job.
Check out all the cards now displayed in our school cafeteria:
I was exceptionally lucky to win a $10 TPT gift card to raffle off during the last sale. Instead of raffling it, I gave it to a new teacher on our floor. She has been subbing all year and is now a permanent sub for a fourth grade teacher on paternity leave.
I got this genius idea from someone in a TPT Social Marketplace Facebook group. Another teacher in the group gave her card to a friend who taught in a school in a high poverty school. I then decided to give it to the new teacher above ~ she was so thankful and excited to buy new items on TPT!
Last week we completed an official lesson with out Marble Runs. The goal was to choose five impediments; set up a marble run; find a way to make the marble travel faster using the impediments in different places. Here are the rules:
As you can see, the kids absolutely LOVE using the marble runs! At first, the marble would take 5 seconds. After rearranging the various pieces, most groups got the marble to finish the course in 3 seconds.
