Part of the “I Am Special” activity at the First Step is the chance for the children talk about their birthdays. The children shared how they celebrate their big day, what they do, what food they like to eat, and who they spend their birthdays with.

Through the activity they were able to practice different skills and demonstrate values like sharing with their classmates and teachers, all while having fun with the Birthday Party theme. They demonstrated one-to-one correspondence in counting the candles for the cupcakes and learned how to squeeze and mix colors for their Puffy Paint Cake Art.

The activity ended with a big birthday party where the children shared food with everyone. They had loads of fun as the teachers facilitated the games and did a Magic Show as well.
