My Project

I am creating this project to give my students the opportunity to honor and celebrate their birthday.

It's a small way telling them they are important and matter in our classroom community.

My students will write a message and sign the birthday card for whoever's birthday it is that week. With the resources requested, I hope that this simple gesture of acknowledging a student's birthday will make them feel valued and encourage them to come to school, enjoy learning and growing together in an inclusive learning community. Thank you so much for your support.
