Texan of the Week

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your child has been chosen as our Texan of the week! This is a special time for your child as we celebrate their leadership. Your child will have use of the Texan bag for the week. They can use the bag to transport some of the items below. Your child will “shine” all week starting _______________________________________

Please return the Texan bag the following Monday.

1. Monday- Your child should complete the “Read All About Me…” poster by filling in all of the things that make them the special person they are. You may also color the poster. We will hang this up for everyone to admire during the week in our hallway.

2. Tuesday- Have your child create a poster or use a piece of paper to draw and write about someone who they think is a great leader and why they think this person is such a great leader. This could be someone they know or someone famous or even someone they have learned about in school. It could even be a character in a book. We will also display this.

3. Wednesday- Color and design your tiger anyway you would like. Have your child write their goals for their school year on the back. These goals can be personal, academic, or anything inside or outside of school. Talk with your child about what steps they can take to meet these goals. Have your child hang their goals somewhere special at home and read them each morning!

4. Thursday- Your child should use the puffy paint or fabric markers to add their name and a special design on a spot on our Texan bag. By the end of the school year, all of our Texans of the Week will be represented in their own unique way!

5. Friday- Write a letter or note to your child about why they are such a great leader and why you are proud of them each and every day. Your child will be able to keep this letter in their chair pocket or school box to look at when they are at school and need that extra special “boost” from you, their hero, even when you’re not there!

6. Any day of the week – Take our “mini” Texan with you and your family on an outing, or something your family does that is special. Write about it in our Texan Journal and draw and color a picture or add a real photograph! Please return Tiny Tex with the bag on Monday.

If you can visit for lunch that week, it would be a special treat for your child! We have lunch from 11:13 to 11:43 everyday (table 8). I appreciate your help in making next week special!
