Here is how we will celebrate birthdays in 2S during the school year. For each child's birthday we will:
• Read & sign a special birthday chart for your child.
• Sing "Happy Birthday" (in as many languages as we can learn this year)
• Book Donation (OPTIONAL): You can make a book donation to the class in honor of your child's birthday. We will place a special book sticker indicating your donation on the inside cover of the book. Please check our wish list or see me if you would like to donate and need a suggestion for a title.
If your child does not want to celebrate their birthday in school or does not feel comfortable with any of the above aspects of the celebration, please notify me so that the celebration can be appropriately modified.
We will not celebrate birthdays with cupcakes or other treats for the class.
If your child's birthday falls on a weekend, we will celebrate on the school day before or after the actual birth date. If your child's birthday falls during the summer, we will celebrate it in June (date to be determined).
Invitations to birthday parties (or other parties) for every member of the class may be passed out at school. Invitations for smaller groups should not be brought to or passed out in school. Presents for the birthday child’s out of school party also should not be brought to school.
Please let me know if you have any further questions about celebrating birthdays in 2S.
