[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot imagine any first grade or Kindergarten class where the teacher does not acknowledge the child's birthday. I taught both K and first grade, and, while I did have it on the calendar and brought it up in circle, it was the rare birthday child who didn't come in the door telling everyone that it was his/her birthday. As far as the age, we would clap the number. This was a few years ago when it was the custom to "spank" the birthday child--yes, I am old. I would always let the child pick a friend to do the "spanking"--which was "pretend". I doubt I would do this if I were teaching today, but it did used to be the custom.[/quote] However the majority of redshirted kids are summer birthdays. Therefore the teacher won't be announcing their birthdays.[/quote]
