First Grade Birthdays

Dear Parents,

Birthdays are an important day in your child’s life! In first grade, you now

have a choice of how you’d like to celebrate! Look over the list of birthday ideas

and choose 1-2 ways to celebrate. Then let me know how your child would like to

celebrate his/her special day! Summer birthdays will be included toward the end of

the school year. Please remember, we are not using food to celebrate birthdays in

our room this year. Any food items sent to school will not be served and will be

sent home.

Birthday Book- You may donate a book to the classroom library and be the first to

read it to the class!

Birthday Compliments- Decorate an envelope and send it into the classroom (along

with index cards). Each child in the class will write something nice about you on

the index card and drop it in your box to take home!

Birthday Game- Donate an indoor recess game to the classroom! You can show us

the rules and be the first one to play!

Birthday Autographs- Bring in something the rest of the class can sign for you

(shirt, tote bag, pillow case, stuffed animal, etc.)!

Birthday Show and Tell- Bring one of your favorite things to school! Be ready to

tell us all about it.

Birthday Poster- You can make a poster all about you and share it the class.

Birthday Supplies- Our supply bins get low throughout the year and children love

new things! Bring in a special supply for each student (fancy pencils, erasers, grips,

small notepads, etc.).

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Mrs. Lauren Harvey
