Last Friday my class had our usual end-of-the-month birthday celebration and I had a little chuckle when a couple girls from another classroom informed me they wished I was their teacher :) They have a wonderful teacher; it was all about the way we celebrate birthdays in my classroom. I was gratified that apparently I have succeeded in making it special for my kids!
One thing I do is give the birthday kid a homework pass. To get your own copy of this, please click on over to my blog; you can also read about what else I do to make our celebration special.
