Today is my birthday! This is a firstie for me.... usually I don't tell anyone it is my birthday.... why? well... I don't like the spotlight on me. I am one of those quiet, let's keep it hushed, I don't want to think about my age, it's just another day kind of person. But most of all I would be totally embarrassed if the fire department had to come to my house to put out a fire only to discover it was just the candles on my cake! :) And... I am totally embarrassed when people sing happy birthday to me. I appreciate it! I really do, but it's that spotlight thing.
But, today I thought .... why not? Let's just go ahead and announce it! But most of all, I wanted to share this with you and so decided I'll give a birthday present to you.
I love thinking maps! I use them all the time with my kinders... To me it helps them organize their thoughts and so much more. I think I am going to put this brace map in my writing center for next week. Here is a model of the snowman brace map and the vocabulary words to go with it.
Hope you enjoy my birthday gift to you! You can download it here.

And I do not have to take down my DJ Inkers activities I have shared with you. After several days of clip art confusion... DJ Inkers changed their terms of use.
Yeah!!!!

Happppy Birthday! I am the same way as you, I never really tell anyone that it is my birthday! I have some friends that celebrate their birthday all month!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...does it count if I sing it to you in cyberspace?? I am the same way - I refuse to think about my birthday to the point where I'm not really sure how old I am anymore - I have to do the math in my head if I want to figure it out - oh darn, just did it, now I have to forget again! Thanks for the freebie and have a great day!

Blessings,

Thank you everyone! I worked yesterday... I work at a teacher's store part-time, then I went out to dinner. After I got home, I fell asleep.
So, it was a very nice low-key birthday! I was so surprised to see how many of you commented. I think that was the best part of my birthday. Thank all of you again!
Happy Birthday and thank you for the cute freebie! I am new to the "thinking map" idea... would you explain what you would do with this? Would it be a model for the students to copy? Thanks for your help!
