STAR SPECIALS

To honor our weekly star and to help us get to know our special classmate your student will enjoy the following:
*Monday: Sharing Sack: A small bag has been sent home with your child on Friday. Please help your child collect special items from home with which to fill the bag, and send it back to school with your child on Monday 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.
On the Star of the Week bulletin board, there is a photo holder that can display twelve 4 x 6 pictures. If possible, have your child pick 12 of his or her favorite pictures to display for the class. The pictures will be returned at the end of the week with no harm done.
*Tuesday: Favorite Book: Your star student brings one of his or her favorite picture books to read to the class.
*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 before read aloud. 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 Buddy: If possible, join your child in the cafeteria for a special lunch on this day. You may also choose to invite an adult 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. You can bring lunch from a favorite restaurant to the cafeteria, or you can order lunch at school. Please let me know ahead of time if you are planning to order a school lunch so that I can place your order.
Friday: Star Friends: Your star student will be presented with a friendship poster created by his or her classmates. The poster will include the Star’s picture, surrounded by compliments written by his or her classmates.
* The events planned for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday can be swapped in order to accommodate your personal schedules if you are planning to be a lunch buddy during the week.
Please let me know which day of the week your child will be bringing a favorite picture book, which day of the week you will be sending the parent letter, and which day of the week you will be doing the lunch buddy so that I can plan accordingly and notify the lunchroom.
