As a part of my efforts to build community in my classroom, I thought that birthdays provide an excellent opportunity to celebrate my kiddos. Our students always let us know when it's their birthday. My normal response is "Well, Happy Birthday!" and I keep on rolling with math. Why not have a little acknowledgement, a little celebration, or a little token to let them know I care. Of course, I'm not trying to go broke, but a 50 pack of giant pixie sticks from Sam's Club got me more interested in this pin, so I went for it!

I bought giant pixie sticks, balloon cut-outs, birthday stickers, and a galvanized tin to hold it all together. Now, when a student tells me it's their birthday, I'll have a sweet treat to offer!

What Pinterest projects do you have your eyes on?
Cute! What a great idea, kids LOVE pixie sticks! My next Pintrest project is the pallet wine rack!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh! I like this. But I would use the smaller ones as I have WAY more students than I want to buy those big ones for!
