My 22nd birthday is on Monday. All the students bring in cupcakes or cookies to pass out during lunch. I'm typically not a big fan of giving kids candy or cakes during school. Also, since our country is obsessed with food on sticks: cake pops, pie pops, marshmallow pops, suckers, etc. (I know you have been tempted to have some of these tasty treats!) I decided to make chocolate dipped pretzels to balance the sweet with some salty and make it easy for the kids to hold onto. I topped the pretzels with colored sugars, milk chocolate, and sprinkles. Even though it is not a super healthy treat, I figured it could be worse. ;) For a healthier option chop up raisins and nuts! I decided to give each student two different kinds. I wrapped the pretzels in saran wrap and tied with a ribbon of my favorite color: pink! I also made my own birthday "madlib." This is a fun way for the students to celebrate a birthday and since my second graders just learned about subject pronouns I snuck in some educational practice!
