I love that their Mama's birthed them on that special day and I only get annoyed about their daily reminders once a day, when they remind me.
In the past I've just never seemed to get around to making it a special thing in the classroom because there are just so many other things.
SO. MANY. OTHER. THINGS.
This year I decided to make their birthdays a little more special. I posted their name and birthdate on yellow and orange circles around my calendar (no picture, sorry, I'm lame).
We also have a Birthday Bucket! They get so excited about this! When they come in and the bucket isn't on top of the T.V. I hear them say, "Gasp, she took the birthday bucket down! It's someone's birthday!"
Inside are a whole bunch of treats to choose from so it's like going to the treasure chest just because you were born. Which reinforces the fact that I am the greatest teacher in these United States. It's so easy to make kids happy :)
This is what it usually looks like sitting on top of the T.V. |
So on their birthday they get to wear the birthday glasses, pick a treat out of the bucket, and make a foldable birthday book (I got the birthday flippy book from Bunting, Books, and Bainbridge).

Leave me a love note! If you leave something nasty I'll hunt you down and karate chop you. Real talk. My computer has spyware. I know where you live :)
