Give children something to look forward to and a special memory by turning an ordinary day into one of these surprise days! Get dressed up, cook a treat, make a craft, bring in a guest speaker, tie in some music, play games, and think of other creative ways to make 2005 come ALIVE! Look at the list on this page and on the linked pages, and then use your imagination to tie in celebrations with themes, standards, and school events.
Hint! You don't have to "party" all day long. How about turning the last 30 minutes on Fridays into "Fabulous Friday"? Children would get a treat for working hard all week, and they'd leave with happy feelings about school!
