Birthdays - Walk Around the Sun

Everyone wants to be remembered and cherished on the special day that they were born. The Montessori Birthday Walk Around the Sun is a lovely way to celebrate a child's birthday in a school setting.

Children love to hear about the journey from their birth to the present day. They want to hear stories, look at photos, and remember wonderful memories. They want to know how cherished they are, and how our life and world is better because they were born into our family or now belong to our class. The Montessori Celebration of Life is the perfect way to do this.

 

In preparation for the Birthday Walk Around the Sun, the parents of the birthday child are asked to bring in a picture or send a picture digitally for each year of the child's life, and write a short life story to accompany the pictures. I have attached a sample of a life story and a paper copy will be sent home during your child's birthday month. We will celebrate our July and August birthdays in June. 

 

The Montessori Birthday Walk around the Sun is more than just a birthday celebration; it's a lesson in science, astronomy, and grace, and a community building experience for the entire class.

 

As we are still respecting health protocols, we ask that no items come from home (edible or non-edible treats). Thank you for your understanding.
