Star of the Week

What is Star of the Week? 

Star of the Week is a special way to celebrate each and every one of the students in our class. Please see the following schedule to prepare for your child's Star Week. 

Monday: Photos

On the Star of the Week bulletin board, there is a photo holder that can display eight 4 x 6 pictures.  If possible, have your child pick 8 of his or her favorite pictures to display for the class.  The pictures will just be clothespinned up, so there will be no holes or marks when they are returned.

Tuesday: Sharing Sack

Please help your child collect 2-3 special items from home with which to fill a “sharing sack”, and send it to school with your child to share with his or her classmates.  Try to encourage your child to choose items that have some sort of meaning rather than just a collection of toys.  

Wednesday: Parent Letter

Parents, you 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 one of 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. 

Thursday: Lunch with a Loved One

We encourage a special visitor to join the star student for lunch! It can be a parent or even grandparent, aunt, uncle, or other special adult! Our lunch time is at 11:20, but please arrive by 11:15 to allow for time to check-in at the front office. 

Please know that Tuesday-Thursday can be rearranged to fit your schedule if needed. 

Friday: Star Poster

Your star student will be presented with a friendship poster created by his or her classmates.  The poster will include the Star’s name, surrounded by compliments written by his or her classmates.
