Birthdays are a very special occasion at this age, and we are always happy to share them with your child. If you would like to bring in a special treat to share with the class, you are certainly welcome to do so. If you do choose this, please make sure you also include paper and serving products like forks, napkins, plates, etc. The best time to do this is the afternoon around 1:15 or later. We do not have any food allergies in our class. You are also welcome to bring treat bags, but please know that they will be immediately placed in the childrens’ backpacks for them to enjoy at home. This prevents “mysterious losses.”  If you decide you do want to bring something in, just jot me a note or send a quick email to let me know when you’re coming so we’ll be ready. We just need a day’s advance notice, if possible.

Again, thank you for not asking us to distribute birthday invitations unless the entire class (not just all the boys or all the girls) is invited. It is against school policy and it creates very unhappy little ones when they realize they’re not included.
