Birthday Books

It is a very exciting and special moment for a child to see a family member or other important visitor sharing time with his or her classmates in order recognize his or her birthday. Using a "birthday book" focuses the celebration around the child and his or her guest(s)- while creating a very important literary experience for the class. Here in room 162 we might not celebrate birthdays in the classroom in a way that is familiar to you. Rather than using cupcakes or treats to celebrate the child's birthday, we use a "birthday book" instead. This is a book that is selected by the family and can be brought into school to be read aloud to the class. After the book is read, all of the students from the class will sign the book and it will be held in our classroom library for students to read for the remainder of the year. At the end of the school year, each child will bring home his or her "birthday book" to keep. It is a wonderful keepsake! As always the greatest gift you can give your child is the gift of time. Share it with the class! Please contact Mr. Rosenberg at least a week before you'd like to come into school to celebrate so an appropriate time can be scheduled into our day! We may also need to do it virtually based on the latest community health protocols. I look forward to seeing you and celebrating your child's special day with the class!
