Prepping something for student birthdays is one of my top summer tasks. There's nothing worse than having to prepare student gifts constantly throughout the year. When I first started teaching, that's exactly what I did...I would scramble the day of the student's birthday to get their goodies together. I've since learned that prepping a little something in the summer will set me up for a smooth birthday routine. Over the years what I've given kids has changed. I did goodie bags (trinkets purchased from Oriental Trading) for many years, but as time went on, they were getting to be very expensive. In recent years, and currently, I give my students a fun straw with a birthday tag on it. I also give them a lollipop. I keep my stash near my calendar area and birthday board, so I can see when a birthday is approaching.
