But my mom was a teacher and so my birth was strategically planned so she could be at home with me the first couple of months and she would not have to take time off.DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081476729648090025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166235259713446429.post-88790511460285702112011-06-12T20:19:35.031-04:002011-06-12T20:19:35.031-04:00I feel your pain on the summer birthday.

But I have always loved having a "summer theme" birthday: pool, beach, water park, slip n slide! <br /><br />For my students in my class we celebrate their birthday in June the last week of school. Since I have little ones they love the idea of celebrating just a month early. I like the idea of half birthdays and may do this next year. I just want to make sure no one gets left out. I give my students a bookmark, pencil, huge sticker, and lots of hugs on their birthdays or days we celebrate their birthday.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822236309514115627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166235259713446429.post-91575973770005158402011-05-10T07:54:21.074-04:002011-05-10T07:54:21.074-04:00Thanks for sharing, I love those ideas! :)Thanks for sharing, I love those ideas! :)Fern Smith's Classroom Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720037582904123065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166235259713446429.post-87107402322497590162011-05-09T20:19:44.865-04:002011-05-09T20:19:44.865-04:00I let my summer birthdays chose any day they wish ...I let my summer birthdays chose any day they wish to celebrate! It normally ends up being their half birthdays because they love that idea but sometimes it's just another special day! I have one little cutie who has a summer birthday but celebrated her "birthday" in the classroom on the anniversary of her adoption date! So cute!Miss Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348901840104292659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166235259713446429.post-53702455026041879202011-05-09T18:22:32.311-04:002011-05-09T18:22:32.311-04:00I usually do them during the month of May.

It doesn't always work out perfectly, but it has worked out pretty well. The kids definitely love that they get to celebrate with their friends at school and get that pencil and sticker!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175101537710748388noreply@blogger.com
