Star Information
Monday: Star Poster: During the week before a student is Star of the Week, poster will be sent home with the child. Students have time at home to fill it in and bring back to share with classmates on Monday.
Tuesday: Favorite Book: The Star of the Week 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 or they give a book-talk if the book is longer. I can also read it if their favorite book is above their reading level.
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 during morning meeting or after calendar.
The content of the letter is up to you, but you may want to choose from the following ideas:
* Describe a special or funny story about your child for the class
* 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 very short DVD 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 (11:15-11:45), please let me know and we will plan a special lunch for your child.
Friday: Star Recognition: The student will be recognized by his or her classmates and presented with a "Star of the Week" certificate.
