Each child will be honored as a "Star of the Week" for one week during the school year. This is their chance to share about themselves and their family, while practicing speaking in front of a small audience. The Star of the Week shares each day during their Star Week and the daily sharing topics are detailed below. If your student is the Star of the Week during a week with a “no school holiday,” they can combine 2 days of sharing topics and share them both on the same day. Please have your child bring in all their daily sharing items to school on the first day of their special week. All items will be kept in our classroom and sent home at the end of the week.

Monday – “All About Me” Poster

Please work with your child to complete a poster (any color/about 18 by 20 inches) that represents their interests, hobbies, and family. Feel free to decorate it with the star templates (see below) as well as family photos or pictures they have drawn. Have their first name shown prominently as well. The poster is displayed in the classroom for the week. Please help your child practice what they will say about each item on their poster when they share it with the class.

Tuesday – Show and Tell
