Things to
Remember About Birthdays à
- Students are permitted to bring in a snack
and a small drink to celebrate their birthday. (All kids enjoy a small,
cold water bottle)
- We only have approximately fifteen minutes to
sing and eat, so please send in snacks that are prepared for individual
servings, and ready to distribute
- Please remember to send in napkins with your
class treat.
- If you will be handing out party invitations
in school, please be sure that the entire class in invited. In the case of all girl or all boy
parties, all of the girls or boys in the class must be invited. Otherwise, please hand out or mail your
invites from home.
Here are some fun and
exciting stories to share at home. Read
them alone or share them with your family and friends! J
