All About Me- My Birthday

This week, Pre-K friends discussed a very special topic - a special day in everyone's life- Happy Birthday! It is the time when we become one year older, more responsible and bigger. 
This time is special because we are getting a lot of attention and presents.  We eat a special cake and everyone tries to make us feel special! Our parents and grandparents, uncles and aunts, friends... call, congratulate, and gather together to celebrate this occasion.
In the class we read a book "Happy Birthday!" that taught us that there are many mitzvahs we can do on this day! Do you know which one? You are right! To be happy is a mitzvah! To eat yummmy cake and make a brocha is a mitzvah!
What else?
We can give extra tzedakah and decide to do something new or something better in honor of our birthday.
In class we made a special Pre-K School Year Book. This book is about friends and their Birthday wishes, and Happy Birthday cakes. We will try to make friends wishes come true and make the cakes they dream about. This book is not like any other because it has one empty page. It happened that for all season of fall, there are no Birthdays in Pre-K.... But it is ok. We just need to patiently wait till winter... and then... you just wait to see.
Friends learned a small Happy Birthday Rhyme.
Apples, Peaches, Pears and Plums,
Tell me when your Birthday comes
January, February, March, April,
May, June, July, August,September,
October, November, December?
