Star Student

Starting this week in Room 203, we will have a STAR STUDENT of the week each week.  Incorporating a Star Student in our weekly schedule is a great way to build a positive community of individuals, who appreciate, respect, and show interest in one another's lives.  

I will be contacting you the week before your son/daughter is Star Student.  Below is a description of the week's sharing activities: (Information can also be found on the Third Grade Website - Star Student)

MONDAY

Please send in 5-10 photos of your child, your family, pet(s), his/her favorite things to do, etc.  On the 3 x 5 index cards I provided, please write your child’s responses to the following:

• -     My Family
• -     My Pets
• -     My Favorite Book
• -     My Favorite Food
• -     My Favorite Color
• -     My Favorite Place
• -     My Favorite Thing To Do

TUESDAY

Turn in the Read All About Me! page.  Your child will share his/her page and we’ll add it to our Class Book. 

WEDNESDAY

Your child is invited to bring in his/her favorite book.  We will read his/her favorite book (or part of his/her favorite book) to the class.  Your child can give a book-talk if the book is too long to read in a 15-minute time frame. 

THURSDAY

You are invited to write a letter to the class telling us how special your child is to you.  Send the letter in the TOP SECRET envelope to school with your child.  I will read the letter to the class at our class meeting.  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, or write a short story with your child as the main character.  Please do not let your child read this secret letter.  He/she should hear the letter for the first time at Thursday’s class meeting. 

FRIDAY

Your child may invite a special guest to eat lunch with him/her in the cafeteria from 12:45-1:05.  He/she may choose to eat with me instead.  If you are unable to join your child for lunch due to your work schedule or a prior obligation, please let me know and I will plan to eat with him/her.  Please contact me via a note in your child’s folder, before/after school, email, or phone to inform me of your plan.
