Background Information Welcome to our 2nd Grade unit on Birthdays Around the World! In this unit, we will learn how to properly write our birth date and locate it on a calendar. We will make graphs of the birthdays we have added to our Calendar Bulletin Board. We will discuss our one family’s birthday traditions as well as exploring, researching, presenting, and acting out some of the special birthday customs of different countries around the world. We will find those countries on a Bulletin Board map, listen to birthday songs from those countries, and learn how to say “Happy Birthday” in different languages. We will be studying Birthdays Around the World for two weeks, so come on in and enjoy!

Have students describe their birthday celebration by writing a paragraph in their birthday book and drawing a picture to go along with it, if they choose. 4. As a class, construct a Presentation Page of the (general) birthday customs, song, and language of saying “Happy Birthday” and add it to the Birthdays Around the World Bulletin Board (place the page near the edge of the bulletin board and draw a line to the United States). While making the Presentation Page, draw or print pictures of the important birthday symbols in the U.S.A., write “Happy Birthday” as one would say it in English, write or print out any interesting facts that were found, and sing the song, “Happy Birthday.” Put all the elements collected onto a page of paper or a Power Point slide (recommended – this way, you can include the music and easily insert pictures). This basic format is what the students will later use in their presentations. 5. Review information from today and the last few days, and if time is left, allow students to spend some time in centers.
