Hey! It's your HALF Birthday!

In our classroom, we love to celebrate each other and unfortunately, I haven't been the best at remembering birthdays.  Thankfully, one of our classmates is a PRO!  She not only remembers everyone's birthday, but she remembers everyone's HALF-Birthday too!  Don't know what a half birthday is?  According to dictionary.com, "A half-birthday is exactly six months before or after one's real birth date".  Want to know a great reason why we celebrate half birthdays?  Well, any student who is born in June, July, or August may miss the opportunity to ever celebrate during the school year with their classmates.  If you are really lucky, like Molly, you get to celebrate your real birth date and your half-birthday.  Molly's birth date is October 18th, this year she was able to celebrate on a 3day 2 night field trip to Camp Hanes (see picture).  Today Molly celebrated by wearing the same glasses with a label of "Half".  Thanks Molly for always remembering to celebrate each and every student in our class.  Today we celebrate you, on your half birthday.
