Birthday Day of FUN!


As a class the students took turns pulling an item out of the birthday bag.
They would say the name of the item and then name the vowel sound heard.
Then we would write the word on the correct line. 



I would blow a birthday blower.  The students would shout the number.  Then they would write that number and the next three numbers on the recording sheet. 



First, I read "For My Birthday" to the class.  The book gives examples of items that I would like for my birthday and an item that I would not like for my birthday.
I would like a vacation.
I would like an iPad.
I would like a book.
But I would not like a dragon!
The last page says...Don't forget to eat cake!
As a class, we brainstormed more ideas of "what we would like" and "what we would not like" for our birthday.  
The students each got a birthday hat with a rhyming word on it.  Then they had to walk around the room to find their rhyming partner.   

When they found their partner, they locked arms.
As a class we reviewed all the rhyming words. 

The students found a place in the classroom and tried to write 8 more words that rhymed.    

We discussed if the word was a "real" or "silly" word. 
The students had a POPPIN' good time making words.
First, they had to pop the balloon by sitting on it.
Then the students built a word with the letter tiles inside. 



We shared our words with the class and recorded them on the worksheet. 



You will find all these activities in our 
"Happy Birthday To Me" unit.

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!  
CLICK HERE  to go to our TpT Shop and get it for FREE!

Have a great school week,

Happy Birthday Book

You say it's your birthday... we'll it's my birthday, too!  YEAH!  WOW!  I cannot wait until 200 hundred followers.  We are so close that I am going to post my special birthday book today to celebrate.  

On the day that we celebrate a student's birthday, we make a special birthday book for the student to take home.  While the students work on drawing/coloring the birthday page, the bithday student will color the cover of his/her birthday book.  I have to give a shout out to my FaBuLouS cooperating teacher, Mrs. Taylor @ Elk Mound Elementary, for giving me this great idea!  






My little monster is turning 3 in September!  I say "little monster" because that is going to be his birthday theme this year.  Isn't he just the cutest thing you ever seen!?!
 Before we start the book, I tell the students to think about if they were in Target and could pick any toy off the shelf for the birhtday student, what would it be?  Reminding them that they are NOT REALLY going to buy the gift, just any gift they would like to put in the birthday student's book that he/she would really like. 

I make sure to tell the students to try to keep it a secret from the birthday student what they are drawing for him/her  Also...try to think of something unique and different from the other students.  I am pretty sure that Kelsea does not want 20 lipsticks for her birthday.

For the cover that the birthday student is color I copy it on 11*17 sheet of paper.  When everyone is finished with the birthday page I put them all into the birthday student's cover and staple it together like a book. 

Most of the mom's say this is a keeper!  I remind the students to do their best work and make it colorful!

You would think after having my blog for a year and almost 200 followers, I would know how to post printables on my blog.  SORRY!  You will have to go to my teacher website and find the printables.  I will post them on the first page to make it easy!  http://www.luv2teachk.shutterfly.com/
