Being our class "Star" is a very special time for the children
as they share all about who they are with their classmates.
Every child is an important person. Spotlighting children in
this way during the year emphasizes to themselves and
friends that they are valued. In class we will be doing
various activities and projects about our special stars during
their assigned week. If for any reason your child misses
a day during his/her "star" week, or there is a
holiday or snow day that falls within the week ---not to worry! The day
will be made up at another time.
Before your child's scheduled "Star Student" week, you may
want to work with your child on decorating a poster to share
with the class, highlighting him or her. Be creative! You may
use pictures, awards, certificates, stickers, glitter ...
anything that represents the star student and is of particular
interest to him or her can be displayed.
Please send the poster to school with your child on the Monday
of his or her special week. I will send a reminder home when
it gets closer to the date.
The weekend before
your child’s assigned week, Scruffy, our class Webkinz dog,
will be allowed to visit and sleep over! Scruffy will be
bringing her backpack and her travel journal along with her.
Please return her to school on Monday, as she is an important
part of our school day.

The "Star’s" Schedule...
Monday:
Your child will share his or her decorated poster with the
class. Children always appreciate the help and support of
the adults around them, but please allow your child to
take a major part in creating this poster using his or her
own imagination and skill.
Tuesday:
Sharing Scruffy’s travel journal. Inside Scruffy’s notebook
please help your child write about their weekend
adventures together. What did you do while Scruffy was with
you? You may include some pictures or photos!
Wednesday:
Hooray for Show and Tell! Have your child bring in a
special belonging. It must be able to fit into a backpack
or in a bag that can be handled independently by your
child.
Thursday:
A guest reader is invited to come in and share the Star
Student’s favorite story and a special snack with our
class. We have set aside about 30 minutes for this
activity. The special adult can be a parent, aunt, uncle,
grandparent or other close family member or friend. Please
let me know who will be joining us ahead of time, so I can
inform the front office. The best time for our school
schedule is at 2:15 pm, but we can work something out if
this time is difficult for you. Remember, this is
completely optional, if you are unable to make
arrangements to visit we will choose a favorite story at
school.
Friday:
The class will make and share a
surprise for our Super Star! |
