~Star of the Week~
Your child will have an opportunity to be the “Star of the Week” this year in our 2nd and 3rd grade classroom. Below is a list of some cool things we will do during your child’s special week as well as a schedule of when your child’s special week will be. Your child will also complete an “All About Me” poster to hang in our classroom so we can learn a little more about him/her. I will give your child this poster one week ahead of time along with a reminder note.
*Monday: Poster Sharing & Wordle Fun: The special student will share his/her “All About Me” poster with the class. We will display it in the classroom during the week. Also, we will use the letters in his/her name to make new words. At the end of the week, the star student will receive a wordle filled with all the new words we created.
*Tuesday: Sharing Sack: The ‘sharing sack’ will be sent home with your child on Monday. Your child may put TWO things in the sack to share with the class on Tuesday. These items will be returned on Tuesday.
*Wednesday: Parent Letter: Parents will write a letter to the class telling us how special your child is to you. Send the letter back to school in a sealed envelope with your child, and I will read the letter to the class on Wednesday. The content of the letter is up to you, but you may want to choose from 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. You may also send a video for the class to watch if you choose.
*Thursday: Favorite Book: The star student brings one of his or her favorite 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 give a book-talk if the book is longer.
*Friday: Special Compliments & Star Recognition: The star student will receive a written compliment from each of his/her classmates. The star student will also be recognized and cheered for by his or her classmates and presented with a "Star of the Week" certificate.
