Student of the Week

Each student will have a very special Student of the Week week during the school year. A week prior to your child’s Student of the Week, a large white paper will go home and needs to be returned the following Monday at the beginning of your child’s Student of the Week (Tuesday if there is no school Monday). Please have your child fill in special information about their self and decorate the poster (a layout example will be provided). Your child will be sharing their poster about themselves, bring in and read their favorite picture book, share a “Me Bag”, and share & teach us about a passion they have, and share a fun science experiment on Friday. They will have the privilege of being the line leader, being my special helper all week, and more. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Student of the Week At a Glance

Monday

* Bring and share “About Me” poster with the class (If no school on Monday, bring on Tuesday)

Poster: Your child has a large white poster paper to decorate (using crayons, markers, color pencils, paint, pictures, magazine pictures, etc.) about him/herself. Get creative!

Tuesday

* Bring and share the “Me Bag” with the class

Me Bag: Your child will create a "Me Bag" by putting 5-10 items that tell about him/her in the bag. They can use pictures, toys, souvenirs from trips, an award or trophy, etc. Please have your child bring at least one item that is not a toy. They will be sharing their “Me Bag” with the class and explaining why each item is in the bag and how and why the item is related to and meaningful for your child.

Wednesday

* Bring your favorite picture book from home to read to the class and your 3 prepared questions & answers

Favorite Picture Book: Your child will choose a picture book to read to the class. Have your child practice reading the picture book aloud with expression and good pace. Remember to practice showing the pictures before turning the pages. Your child needs to prepare three questions related to the book to ask the class after they’ve read. Write the questions down on a piece of paper and make sure your child knows the answers.

Thursday

* Bring “Get Your Teach On” Items

Get Your Teach On: Your child is in charge! For 15 minutes the Unique of the Week gets to choose one of the following activities for the whole class:

 Teach the class something (e.g. a new song, how to make an origami bird, how to count to ten in another language, how to draw a favorite cartoon character etc.) Please plan what will be needed to teach the class and assemble any teaching materials needed.

 Design a puzzle for the class to solve. This could be a word search, secret code, maze or other puzzle. Bring it to school in the morning or the day before so we have time to make copies for the class.

 Lead a game of his or her choice.

Friday

* Share a science experiment with the class.
