I always get a lot of questions regarding birthdays, so I just wanted to share some quick "frequently asked questions" for your reference.
Do you celebrate birthdays at school? YES! We love to celebrate every child's special day!
Do you celebrate half-birthdays at school? YES! IF your child's birthday falls when we are not in school (June, July, August) then we will celebrate their HALF birthday. For instance, if your child's birthday is June 5, we would celebrate them on December 5.
May I send in something special on my child's special day to share with the class? YES! In order to keep everyone safe, no food items are allowed. There are still plenty of fun non-food possibilities. Just a few ideas from years past: send in a pencil, eraser, sticker, or small trinket item for the students, send in a new recess ball for our class to use at recess, send in an indoor recess game, send in a new book to be added to the classroom library. Sending in items is TOTALLY OPTIONAL! Please do not feel it is necessary. Some families choose to send items and others do not and whatever you choose to do is just fine! I like to give ideas because some families really like to send items in on that day.
Can I send birthday party invitations to school for my child to pass out? YES! IF you send one for EACH child in the class, then this is allowed.
Can you provide me information for other students in the class? NO. Unfortunately I am unable to share other parents' information with you (phone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.) If you are wanting to only invite specific students, you will need to utilize the buzz book for that information. Thank you for your understanding!
On your child's special day they will get to go down to the office for announcements, get a special pencil, receive a silly straw from me, sit on the bean bag chair on the carpet, and choose our read aloud for the day! We will also sing to them first thing in the morning.
I hope you find this information helpful! :0)
