Birthdays are very special in second grade!  Although we enjoy celebrating these days we must also follow the new guidelines.  The new guidelines specify that birthdays must be celebrated with nonfood items.  Should you want your child to celebrate his/her birthday with his/her classmates, here are some suggestions:

·       Send in something with your child to hand

out to their classmates like stickers, pencils, small erasers or bookmarks.

·       Donate a copy of your child’s favorite book to

 our classroom library.  If you would like, inside

you can write something like, “This book was

donated on ____ in honor of ________’s birthday”.

·       The birthday child can donate a favorite

game to our indoor recess collection.
