My Project

The items of this project will be so monumental to my student's learning journey as children are not always happy to come to school on their special day!

As special as a birthday is, many students are not happy to be at their learning space on that day.

Some bring cupcakes, and some can't even afford a birthday outside of school. But one thing that can bring a lovely smile to their faces is a badge sticker to wear for the day making it known to all that see them at school that day that it is their birthday. Students ALWAYS need pencils, and a special birthday pencil is one that is sure to be kept up with!

As their teacher it would not be a surprise that they'd be gifted a book, but a special birthday book with a lovely note from their teacher would make THAT book mean a little more. There are 3 books for my students to choose from in this project, and they are at 3 different reading levels. Won't you help us celebrate my students who come to school on their special day?
