I am linking up with Cara again and giving  you a Throwback Thursday post about my birthday board.
My Ever Evolving Birthday Board – August 20, 2012
One of the top items I see of mine pinned is my birthday boards.  I first had a cow print themed one.  Then, last year I made a polka dot one using the labels from my Polka Dot Labels and Signs packet.  I had so many requests to just sell the labels for the birthday board that I decided to revamp mine and make a little packet to sell.  You can click on the images below to check out the packet on TpT.  
*Warning, I went a little overboard with the polka dots in my classroom.  Don’t stare too long at the bulletin board I made – you might get dizzy.  I would suggest taking it down a notch by using just a solid bulletin board background if you are going to use a polka dot border or vice versa.  

(This birthday board is 27 by 41 inches.)
Feel free to pin.  I just ask that if you post something like this on your own blog, that you don’t say it is “Pinterest Inspired.”  Please, link back to me or this post.  I really would love to see how your boards come out.  Also, if there is a demand for boards of different color schemes, let me know and I will add them to my “To Create for TpT List.”

 I celebrate birthdays with this pack:

How do you handle this situation? Do you put the How do you handle this situation?  Do you put the new student at the end of the alphabetical list or do you start over with a new one?
I know I am next for a new student (I have 24 kids and everyone else has 25), so I am holding off until the night before the first day.  I wish I could just wait but I like modeling where their bags and mail goes, both of which are set up using numbers.

True story: One year on the first day, I had a no show.  Then I was assigned a new student.  That student fit perfectly in the alphabetical order spot that was left.  I should have played the lottery or something.  What were the odds of that?!
