Birthdays
Dear Parents,
We are trying to make your child’s birthday a meaningful one, while at the same time eliminating the endless amounts of sugar that children often eat. Instead of sending a sugary treat to school on your child’s birthday, how about letting your child “treat” the class to a birthday book. The birthday child may bring a book (wrapped if you wish) to give to the class. This book would become a permanent part of our classroom library. What a nice way for your child to share his/her birthday -- and much easier on the teeth!
If you still want to send an additional treat, some great suggestions are stickers, a bookmark, or a pencil. Please note, you are not obligated to do this, but we think the concept of a child sharing his/her birthday (and being a giver, rather than a receiver) is really a good one.
Thank you for your help in supporting our attempt to immerse 2nd graders in print. Soon our children will be gobbling up books, rather than sweets, and enjoying every bite.
How to Make a Library Birthday Book Club Donation:
Our school’s Book Wish List is now available on Amazon! CLICK HERE for easy illustrated instructions detailing how to donate. Your child can choose the book he/she would like to donate and be the first student to check the book out. Your child's name will also be placed inside the book as a thank you. All the books on the wish list were preselected to support the curriculum across all grade levels.
Sincerely,
Miss Cohen
