Happy Monthly Birthday?!?!?!??!!

NOT!!! So we tried! Our school is making a very BIG effort to make sure that we are healthy and using every valuable moment of our day. I agree with this and want to follow the rules. So, out went the letter explaining having a party at the end of each month the students that had or were having a birthday. Well, first of all, let's face it! We are turning six! Birthday's in Kindergarten are one of the most important days of the year! How can we just NOT do anything on OUR special day!?!?!?!? The answer is that we can't! (Maybe it just isn't the kids, maybe it is the teacher!)
Some things just don't work out and this is one of them. Birthday's will be celebrated in a traditional manner. On the day (or close to the day) of your child's birthday, I will put their name as the "snack packer". You can send in whatever treats you would like for their birthday. (Keep in mind the healthy part of the previous statement. How about if you send cupcakes, send the tiny ones instead of the HUGE ones! See, I can compromise! Oh yea, I am sure white cake is every one's favorite-hint, hint!) We will sing our Kindergarten song and make a birthday card! It is a lot of fun and so much easier! What about summer birthday's you might ask!??! Good question. If you would like to choose a special day to celebrate for your child, please let me know. (For example, the 1/2 way mark, on a convenient day for you, etc.)
It just makes sense!
