It used to be to celebrate birthdays, students brought in cupcakes or cookies. Now, with our focus on healthy lifestyles, our birthday celebrations at school must be a little bit more inventive. Sometimes parents come in to read a story or do a craft. Sometimes students bring small packets of school supplies with their classmates, all of which are a wonderful way to celebrate birthdays!
To celebrate my birthday, the students and I made bookmarks for a local after school program called Urban Kids. Urban Kids is a part of Urban Ministry, an organization that works in Birmingham's West End neighborhood. The kids had a great time making the bookmarks, putting a lot of thought into a gift for another child.
I'm so glad they'd help me celebrate in this way!
