Birthdays are special for children and we like to help make the day special at school. During circle time, he/she will have a 'Birthday Walk'. The child carries a globe around a representation of the Sun one revolution for each year of her/his life. During the walk, we tell the class about the child's life and important events up until that time. To help us with this, we ask you to fill out a birthday questionnaire at the beginning of the year to give us some interesting facts about your child's life. We will schedule the 'Walk' as closely as possible to the actual birthday. We do one Birthday Walk per day/class. When we have children in the same class with birthdays on the same day, we usually do the 'Walk' for the youngest child first and then the older child on the following day. Children with summer birthdays will have a “Summer Birthday Celebration” in May.  If your child has a birthday in September, please speak with your child's teacher prior to the start of school.
