Birthday Information

We will try to celebrate birthdays on the actual date, however for birthdays that fall on a weekend we will celebrate on the Friday before the birthday, and for summer birthdays we will celebrate half birthdays. When your child's birthday is approaching you will receive a flyer of the following information.


Ms. Williams’ Class Birthday Menu

As a way to celebrate our special birthdays in kindergarten, the birthday student will have some special choices.

Each student will have show and tell, a guest read aloud, and get to choose one other activity off of the Birthday menu.

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE CHOICES IN THIS MENU AND HELP YOUR CHILD DECIDE WHICH HE/SHE WOULD LIKE TO DO FOR HIS/HER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.  WE WANT TO HONOR EACH STUDENT IN A SPECIAL WAY!

*Please contact me if there is another 15 minute activity your child would like to do, or if you are planning to bring in snacks.

If possible please bring healthy snacks to promote positive habits for all of the students in our class.  (I understand a little treat now and then.)
*All snacks must be store bought.*
