Celebrating Birthdays with a Take-Home Bag

I like to utilize Take-Home bags in my classroom to enhance The Home-School Connection.  I have a Star of the Week Bag, a Scaredy Squirrel Class Mascot Bag, a Dr. Seuss Bag, a Nursery Rhyme Bag, a Lost Tooth Bag, and a Birthday Bag.  I have previously posted about my mascot bags {click here and here}, my Dr. Seuss Bag {click here}, and my Star of the Week Bag {click here}.  Well, now it is time for me to post about my Birthday Bag.  I created a Birthday Take Home Pack packet for TpT.  For only $3, this packet will help you make your students’ birthdays as special as they are!

Included in the packet are the directions and the printables need to create a Birthday Bag and Birthday Journal.  Also, included are various forms of letters to parents letting them know when to send in goodies for their child’s birthday celebration.  Included are two versions of parent letters for celebrating a summer birthday.  There are black-line master cards for the students to make birthday cards.  There is a birthday class-made book that can be complied for the birthday child.  I have also included a color birthday card from you, the teacher.

The Birthday Bag is created by purchasing the following items:

  • Large Clear Zipper Tote with Color Trim & Bottom (Black)
  • thin view binder
  • journal entry pages (click here to purchase my packet)
  • Teacher and student birthday cards or the birthday class-made book
  • three birthday themed picture book

Here are the books I include in my birthday bag:


  

 I hope you check out my packet by clicking here.  Have fun celebrating birthdays with your students!

    This is so cute. I have another teacher that does birthday bags and I know the kids love them. I am thinking about maybe doing this. Very cute!

    FYI – I just tried to buy this and it was FREE not $3.00. Wasn't sure if this was supposed to be the case. Let me know. I have if, but will pay you through pay pal if need be.

🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers ! I hav 🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers !

I have been with TpT since 2008!  I remember looking for a place where I could share my computer created resources with other teachers without having to set up my own website.  TpT was suggested.  I started off with a few Microsoft Word created resources 😬. At the time, the founder of TpT, Paul and his brother Dana, were single-handedly running things. I loved getting their newsletters.

In 2009 I was in a NY times article for TpT about who owns the copyright to teacher’s lesson plan ideas…the schools or the teachers.  This was not the article the author or editors told me I would be in, but that is another story! 

I stuck with TpT and creating resources and then in 2011, the site really took off and I met all these other amazing teacher-authors and finally met Paul in real life! 

As a single homeowner on a teachers salary, I worked nights and weekends on TpT resources just to be able to afford to live in my little house.  Then something amazing happened, my hard work paid off and I was able to get myself some breathing room.  I am so grateful for TpT for giving my life purpose and financial freedom back in those days.  Even though I am married now, I am so proud of myself for being able to own that little house (I still have it and rent it out) and buy my forever home in my dream neighborhood all by myself.

So many of you found out about TpT and so many more sellers joined.  It truly became the open market place that Paul envisioned all those years ago. 

TpT is still a big part of my life all these years (and hair colors) later.  I know when I eventually retire from teaching, I will be able to do TpT full time.  I love creating and sharing resources (880 and counting) with all of you.
