Next Week Your Child will be a Star!

the class) at our team meeting. It is most successful when students choose a short storybook which can be read in under 15 minutes.<br><br> Chapter books or non-fiction books don 9t usually go over very well because it is too difficult to share them in the short time frame. *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.<br><br> The letter may be very simple and the content is up to you, however, if you have the time, 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.<br><br> You may also choose to invite a sibling or a favorite relative to be your child 9s 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 (11:25-11:50), please let me know, and I will plan a special lunch for your child instead.<br><br> (I could also arrange for a different lunch time, if needed.) 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.<br><br> The poster will include the Star 9s 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.<br><br> Write the chosen day of the week for each activity on the lines below, and return this page to school by Monday . __________________ Favorite Book __________________ Lunch Buddy (Please let me know if you need me to order a lunch for you or arrange a different time.) __________________ Parent Letter Please let me know if you have any additional questions about the exciting upcoming week!
