While your child is the Star of the Week, each day of the week will consist of an exciting event or activity to honor him or her.
*Monday:
Sharing Sack:
During the week before a student is Star of the
Week, a tote bag will be sent home with the
child. Students have a week to collect 3 special items with which to fill the bag
at home and bring it back to share with classmates on Monday. Students
should also bring 12 photos of their choice to display on the Star of the
Week bulletin board.
Tuesday:
Favorite Book:
The
star student brings one of his or her books to read to the class. Students
can read the book aloud to the class if it can be read in less than 10 minutes
long or give a book-talk if the book is longer.
*Wednesday:
Parent Letter:
Parents will write a letter to the class
telling us how special your child is to
you. Send the letter in a sealed envelope to school with your child, and I will
read the letter to the class at class meeting. The content of the letter is up
to you, but you may want to choose from the following ideas: Describe special or
funny stories about your child for the class to hear, write a silly or serious
poem about your child, tell us some neat things we may not know about your
child, send silly or special pictures with a letter describing the pictures, or
write a short story with your child as the main character. You may also send a
video for the class to watch if you choose.
*Thursday:
Lunch Buddy:
If
possible, join your child
in the cafeteria for a special lunch on this day. You may also choose to
invite a sibling or a favorite relative to be your child’s lunch buddy.
You can have the buddy be a surprise or let your child know ahead of time.
If you are unable to make it during our lunch period (12:30-1:10), please let
me know, and I will plan a special lunch for your child.
*Friday: Star Recognition: The star student will be recognized by his or her classmates and presented with a "Star of the Week" certificate.
* The events planned for Wednesday, Thursday , and Friday can be swapped in order to accommodate your personal schedules if you are planning to be a lunch buddy during the week.
