Birthdays
We help your child celebrate his or her birthday with their classmates at school. Our special celebration shows how our natural world extends a loving welcome to each child born on earth. We invite you to send pictures of the birthday child at each year of life. We use this pictorial time line to help understand the meaning of birthdays. You may send a special treat for the class if you wish. Please no balloons, party favors, or entertainment. We ask parents who wish to send invitations for home parties to use the sign-in sheets in the front lobby. This spares the feeling of children they do not invite.
Many children and teachers enjoy contributing a book to Mission Viejo Montessori School Library in honor of their birthday. A nameplate is placed inside the book with your child’s name. The purchase of a library book is a special gift and a legacy for many future students.
