Birthdays ~ to celebrate or not?

July 26, 2014

So birthdays ~ it seems to be a hot topic nowadays.  Michelle Obama has her opinion and so does everyone else.  Over the last 2 years I have opted out of celebrating birthdays with food!  Oh the horror!

 

I have decided to NOT celebrate with food for the past 2 years.  I know, I know I sound like the worst teacher ever.  But, the amount of allergies my students had have has risen significantly and it’s just not worth it to me.  Also my district has a healthy kid rule in place and the list of what a parent can bring in is very restricted.  I mean how many times can you have a skinny cow in one month people?  Instead I have the bday kid come up and we sing to them, then in years past I have left bulletin board paper on their desk for their classmates to write a nice note.  Lastly the birthday child can receive a special something from me.  This is what I just made for this coming year and…It’s a freebie in my store right now!!!  I would love to know how you celebrate birthdays in your school/class/district.  Take a looksy and tell me what you think.  They took me very little time to prep and I’m ready for the year…so easy!
