They Say It's Your Birthday!

Today is my little boy's 6th birthday, and to celebrate it 'blog style' I wanted to link you up with some fun things you can do with your students or personal children, when their birthdays roll around. 

This Day in History from the History Channel: This site shows a short video of clips of different things that happened on...well...this day in history. Of course you need to preview it before you share it with students, but it's interesting, especially for upper elementary, or nerdy history loving lower elementary like my little history buff.
