In this week’s post, I am going to touch on a couple of points that were brought up at curriculum night, if you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Birthday Celebrations for Summer Birthdays
After some consideration, I have decided for students whose birthdays fall during vacation times, it would be easiest for us to celebrate and honor their birthday by doing a half birthday celebration in the class. This will follow the same format as the school year birthdays. If you would like to have your child’s birthday celebrated, please send a new or used book to share on the day and then it will be placed in our birthday book bin in our library. We will sing to the student and he/she will get to wear a special crown for the day.
