BIrthday Kites

I've been told since day one of teaching... "take your birthday off!" As my birthday approached, I thought more and more about it. Then I remembered just how much I love my kids and how much I really would enjoy spending my birthday with them. So, I decided that instead of writing sub plans we would have a party and fly kites instead. :)

One of my darling girls made me this "cake". Each layer had a different homemade gift in it... and the best part- (I neglected to take a picture before I tore into it) she hot glued Smartie packages on for candles!
This guy decided to "dress up" for my birthday :)



Could my students really be any more darling? I just love them. I'm preparing myself for the fact that we only have 6 more weeks together. They've all grown up so much!
