In class when it is a student's birthday, they get a special pencil from the office, we sing the Happy Birthday song to them, and we give him/her a birthday crown to wear the whole day. For those children who have birthdays in the summer (June, July, August), we celebrate their "Half-birthdays" which are exactly 6 months from the real birthday. In addition to our classroom birthday procedure, some parents and students like to celebrate birthdays with classmates at school. Please note - this is a completely voluntary option. If you and your child would like to do something for their birthday, you may bring a class set (AM & PM kids, approximately 33 students) of pencils, erasers, or stickers for each student in the class and they can pass it out at the end of the day. Food is no longer allowed for birthday celebrations. Another option if it is your child's birthday is to donate something to the classroom. Please visit the "Wish List" link under "Curriculum" to see our current wish list items. Thank you! |
