The “STAR” Treatment
Monday: Sharing Sack:
On the Friday before a
student is Star of the Week, a tote bag will be sent home with the
child. Students will collect 3 special items with which to fill the
bag at home and bring it back to share with classmates on Monday.
Please make sure the items are small enough to fit inside the bag.
The star will also share his or her “All About Me” poster.
Tuesday: Favorite Book:
The star student 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
long or give a book-talk if the book is longer.
Wednesday: Classmate Compliments: The star
students’ classmates will write and share compliments about them,
which will then be made into a book as a keepsake.
Thursday: Parent Letter:
Parents will write a
letter to the class telling us how special your child is to you.
Please use the attached letter format and do not write
on the back for Memory Book purposes . Send the letter in
a sealed envelope to school with your child, and I will read the
letter to the class. 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.
Friday: Star Recognition:
The star student will be
recognized by his or her classmates and presented with a "Star of
the Week" certificate.
