[|Birthday Book template.pub] We used this template to create birthday books for each student on his/her birthday. The first page is the cover (print on colored paper or cardstock), the second is the page the birthday boy/girl would fill out, and the third page is what all the other students would get. At the beginning of the year I had each student write in the name of the birthday kid and draw a picture. As the year progressed, each student had to write a 1-3 sentence message to the birthday kid. The star at the bottom indicates where to sign their name. I bound all the pages together by stapling them into a book. We used the last 2 weeks of the year to compile birthday books for students having summer birthdays. (K8teacher)
