"Adopted" from Tiffany Taylor's "Birthday Bag!"

Dear Families,                                             

           Welcome to the Birthday Bag! Birthdays are special celebrations, and we would love to learn about birthday traditions in your home.  Please use the “Birthday Journal” to help your child write about and illustrate what you do to recognize this important day.  Your child will have the opportunity to share this special entry with the class.  Enjoy the items in the bag and have a very happy birthday!  Please check the inventory list before returning it to school and send a note if anything is missing so that it will be ready for the next birthday student!

Happy Birthday,

The Birthday Bag
