Birthday parties are not held at school. Instead we celebrate each child's birthday in a very unique Montessori manner. The birthday child holds the globe of the earth and walks around "the sun" ( a lighted candle) once for each year of his/her life. As the child walks, I read something about the child and show a picture for each year of his/her life. I ask that you send in a picture from birth and continue with one-year intervals to a current photo. Photos will be returned. Please send in a short narrative of your child's life along with the pictures. This may include family members, pets, favorite toys, special trips, etc.
You and your child may wish to bring in a special snack for that day. Please be sure that it is healthy. We can not serve cupcakes, cake or any sugary treats. Muffins, popsickles, fruit , etc. will be acceptable. Please keep in mind that healthy snacks can be just as delicious and they give a positive model for eating well. Birthday invitations may be distributed in school when the whole class is being invited.
