Birthday Bags
Class birthdays are fun to celebrate, but they shouldn't add any extra stress to your teacher life! This no-fuss birthday display and student gift set is the easiest way to make each student in your classroom feel extra-special, but without having to add a bunch of work to your plate!
Why do I need this?
This student birthday routine is simple, but also encourages kindness and is centered around building a classroom community. If you want an authentic way to make your students feel really special on their birthday, because all of the kids in your class pitch in to make them feel that way...then this idea is for you! On top of the positive results you'll see from your class with this routine, you will also love how easy it is to spend one hour getting it ready for the year, and never touching it again!
How do I use this product?
1. Grab a stack of paper bags and put a 'happy birthday' label on each bag. (Labels are included)
2. Print and copy class sets of birthday cards for the year.
3. Create a quick and easy birthday Flipchart to keep track of each students' birthday.
4. Print a class set of homework passes and sign your name on each one!
5. When a student's birthday arrives, put a birthday bag on their desk and give everyone else a birthday card. You will drop a homework pass in the bag while the rest of the class stuffs the bag with birthday cards! This makes great morning work!
