Student Birthday Poster FREEBIE

Holy Cow!
It's been almost a month since my last post.
I needed some time to relax with my family
and generate more ideas to share with you.
 
Today is a FREEBIE idea
that I took from a colleague of mine.
 
It's a student birthday poster.

I put the premade sign on a large sheet of paper
and wrote the student's name.
Then all the kids in the class wrote a short
note to their classmate. 
I made sure I added a special note as well.
 
I'm lucky, because we have a laminator in our school
and so each poster gets laminated.
 
If you can't laminate, I suggest the children
glue the notes to the poster.
 
You can get the sign for free by clicking below.

Five for Friday - No theme, just ideas

It's Friday!
My kids were nuts today.
Our schedule was off this week
between holiday concert music practice
and mid-year ELA testing
and Winter Break coming in two weeks.
 
To celebrate the end of the week,
I'm linking up for...

2.  I made these grammar task cards for my kids
and they loved them.

 I put the cards around the room
and the kids record their answers.
 There are three different sets
in the whole pack.


 
3.  I saw this idea and I think I'm going
to make them for my students.
It's something little,
but I know they will love it.

4.  Winter temps are here!
I dislike winter and the cold.
Yuck!
 
5. I made these the other day
and they were delicious!
The best part - only 3 ingredients
if you don't use the whipped topping.
The recipe calls for a mini cheesecake pan,
but I used mini muffin tin.
Cook them for about 1/2 the time
stated on the recipe.

So there you have it - 5 random thoughts for the week.
