How do you celebrate birthdays in your classroom? Silly straws for the win from Dollar Tree!! Plus, I have always made a class book with my kids and I decided to give a fresh, sweet new look. Every student gets a page the morning of the birthday student's special day. This is the morning work for the day ;-) . My birthday student gets to decorate the cover. The kids love reading the sweet birthday messages from their classmates AND it's a sweet keepsake to go back and revisit. PLUS, it's free! I like to give my birthday student a little treat like a pencil or silly straw. This year I found silly straws at the Dollar Tree, six for a $1. Woot! Woot! But I think the birthday book would be just fine. A lot of my kids would keep these in their desk or backpack and pull them out to reread throughout the year. You can pick up the tags and book { here }. Have a SWEET day!
