Birthday Bugs - A Neat Idea to Recognize Classroom Birthdays

 

Some Great Summer Finds

Found at Target: 

First, this Draw & Write Roll. It would make a great class project, or station.

Some more dry erase boards are always needed.

Can never have too many Happy Birthday certificates.

My Birthday Celebration Solution

I have tried to figure out ways to help my students celebrate their birthdays. Oh, I give out the card and pencil, but I wanted something more. I used to put birthday wrapping paper on their desks until we went to the single 4-person tables. I really liked the chair covers, but they're expensive. Plus sometimes I've had as many as three children with the same birth day.

Ta Da! I found these pennants at the dollar store (but I've seen them at the party shop, too.) They came in both blue and pink, but I figured girls wouldn't mind blue. There are 12 pennants per package. I simply tape one to the back of the student's chair, and it's automatic "specialness"!
