In this episode, you will learn why school celebrations must be brought back to our public schools if we want to build a sense of community and a fun learning environment. From show-and-tell, to Pi Day, and a few others, I am strongly advocating to bringing enjoyment back into the school day!

Tips from this episode:

  • Learn why school celebrations are such an important part of educating the whole child
  • Discover how to incorporate a celebration into each and every day–and tie it to the curriculum
  • Explore 8 celebrations teachers and administrators can prepare (with little effort!) to make kids feel valued, special, and part of a bigger community

    It has been sad to watch celebrations be taken out of my children’s school experience. In Minnesota is against the law to send homemade treats of any kind to school. When we were on a tight budget, that made it hard to find a birthday treat for a class of 30 that was store bought and still affordable. Now our district has banned any parent supplied birthday celebration of any kind. They said it was getting too distracting from learning and not everyone could provide a birthday treat on their child’s birthday. Now it is up to the teachers to find a way to celebrate. i’m not sure what that is in my son’s classroom.
