[NOTE: I saw several versions of the prayer floating around Pinterest and my favorite blogosphere haunts, and actually combined two of them to create the printable.] I really liked the idea of using the prayer booklet as the last piece of the lapbook.

As with other projects, we attempted to create logos that fit the character - i.e. the Recycle Boy\/Girl features a recycling sign, the Captain Calendar logo features the numbers 1, 2, and 3, etc. [See examples below]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-7634\" alt=\"Superhero Classroom Helpers Bulletin Board Idea\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Superhero-Helpers-Signs.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhile they're not editable, you can grab a free copy of the signs !\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuper Kids\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLast week we shared these awesome downloadable superhero doodads we found over at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/mrspancake.com\/index.php\/doodads\/show_one_doodad\/photo-face_superhero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eMrs. Pancake\u003c\/a\u003e.
