8. Birthdays We will celebrate children’s birthdays in
our class. On this day your child may
share a treat with the children in the
class. If your child’s birthday falls in
the summer and you would like us to
celebrate their birthday in class let
me know and we can pick an unbirthday date for
celebrating their birthday. Do not send birthday
invitations to school to be passed out. Children feel left out when they do not get invited
and we have hurt feelings in the class. Find another time or way to pass out invitations.

9. Spotlighting Children “Apple of My Eye”
I will be sending a note and poster home the Friday before your child is to be spotlighted. The children like to hear about each other and to see the changes that they have made in their life. Each child will be honored for at least one week. Your child will be able to bring back the poster when they are spotlighted to share with the class. The poster will guide you on what to share. You can add pictures with captions to help us learn more about your child.

10. Flopsie Mustang

You child will then share with the class what they did with Flopsie.
