Birthday Necklaces

I love birthday hats as much as the kiddos do...but I wanted to try something different this school year to make them feel special on their birthday. 

CLICK RIGHT HERE to use "Birthday Necklaces" in your classroom!

We also create a "Birthday Class Book" so that each student can draw and write a birthday wish to their classmate.  I got this idea from my cooperating teacher about 10 years ago and use it EVERY year!  It is fun to find out what things they like to get their friends. Plus...I know many parents save this a memory keeper!

Have a great school week,
