**To celebrate your child's birthday, please let me know if you would like to come into the classroom and read a book to the class. Or you could let me know your child's favorite story and I could read it to the class in honor of their birthday.
Below you will see the options available to celebrate your child’s special day. Please choose one birthday activity. The choice is up to your family. As always the greatest gift you can give your child is the gift of time.
*Please contact me at least 1 week prior, if you'd like to come into school to celebrate so an appropriate time can be scheduled into our day! I look forward to sharing your child's special day with the class!

Birthdays are very important in our classroom! We like to celebrate them and we hope that you will be able to join us in the celebration. Here in room 136, we will celebrate your child's birthday by using a "birthday book." A family member or special visitor may join our class, virtually, to read a book of your child's choice. This focuses the celebration around the child and his and her guest(s) while creating a very important literacy experience for the class.
After the book is read, feel free to leave the book in school for all of the students to sign the book. What a wonderful keepsake!

Have your child bring in a solid colored t-shirt. I will have the class sign their names on the special birthday shirt and they can wear it all day long!

Some parents may want to create a craft or art project to do with the children. I only ask that the craft be simple and something that can be completed within approximately 20 minutes.
