Birthdays

In this lesson, we will learn why we celebrate birthdays and identify when our own birthdays are. We will think of some of the ways that we celebrate birthdays and end the lesson by writing an invitation.

To understand why we celebrate birthdays

In this lesson, we will manipulate materials to create a representation of a birthday cake. We will develop fine motor skills and imaginative skills during this lesson.

Birthday Cake

In this lesson, we will make a birthday card for somebody in our household, a family member, a friend, or even a toy! We will think about that person's favourite things to make the birthday card special.
