The community of Superkids teachers is special—generous, helpful, creative, and kind! This month we want to acknowledge five Superkids teachers who have consistently shared fun activities, organizational tips, classroom projects, Superkids themed décor, and more! As a special thank-you, these teachers will receive a complimentary ticket to this year’s Superkids Schools Conference.
If you are interested in sharing what is happening in your classroom, ideas can be submitted by using the submit by email button at the bottom of each newsletter. Ideas and activities can also be submitted by sending a message to the Superkids Facebook page.

Hayley Lugassy
The first teacher we would like to recognize is Hayley Lugassy. Hayley has been sharing her creative Superkids activities, events, and décor since 2014! She has found ways to incorporate Superkids into the classroom design, amazing learning activities, and into an end-of-the-year graduation event.
Thank you for sharing your creative ideas, Hayley!

Janel Sasser
Janel Sasser gets our next shout-out. Janel has shared fun classroom videos and activities since 2019.
Janel shared a super activity that connects Superkids to STEAM activities. She challenged her students use classroom supplies to invent and build items for the characters. They made new ovens for Cass, paintbrush holders to keep Oswald organized, dog houses for Golly’s friends, bridges for Alf to safely cross, and tool hangers for Doc’s shop!
Keep those creative ideas coming, Janel!

Erin McColley Haynes
Erin McColley Haynes has been sharing Superkids ideas since 2019. Golly’s smelling station was a big hit on our Facebook page. Her students have also made tool belts like Doc; created planets after reading about the Wet Planet; and visited the high school to see the trumpets, trombones, and tubas in action to honor Tic, Tac, and Toc.
We are thankful for you and your kindergarten crew, Erin!

Sara McMahon
Sara McMahon has been sharing super ideas since 2020. She has had her students problem-solve to build a boat for Frits, embark on an Alf-inspired adventure, participate in a skating party to celebrate Sal, and create “clickety, click” Icky TV sets which the children use to put on their own TV shows.
Keep sharing your character celebrations, Sara!

Your students are lucky to have you, Christa!
