Happy birthday to....... every student I've ever had!

The most important component of my classroom is a strong class family.  Connections with kiddos is a MUST. But what about after they have moved on from my classroom?

Everyone loves a birthday. 


It's so fun to get cards, emails, comments, and well wishes on your special day. It's even more fun when it comes from someone you don't expect, like your old teacher.

As part of my "Once a family member, always a family member" motto, I send a birthday email and/or card to as many of my former students as possible. I have taught for ten years. Do the math.  You might be thinking "That's a ton of kids to keep track of!". You're right.



Luckily, there's a solution.
