Monday: All About Me Poster: An “All About Me” poster will be sent home the week before your child is the star. They should fill it in completely and add any pictures or photos that they like. The star of the week can also bring in 4 objects to share with the class. Try to encourage objects that hold a special meaning to your child.
On the Star of the Week bulletin board, there is a photo holder that can display four 4 x 6 pictures. If possible, have your child pick 4 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 (or have the teacher read to the class) at our class meeting.
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 at class meeting. 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. You may also send a special video for the class to watch if you choose. (Sometimes parents have taped messages or choose to send in a funny baby video for the class to see.)
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 (10:06 – 10:36), please let me know, and I will plan a special lunch for your child instead. You can bring lunch from a favorite restaurant to the cafeteria, or you can order lunch at school. Please make sure you or your guest has a serve form on file in the office.
Friday: Star Friends: Your star student will be presented with compliments created 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.
Here is the form that your child will receive the week before it's his/her time to be our Special Agent of the Week.
