Each week a student will be selected as the "Celebrity of the Week" and will be showcased on our website.

The following activities will take place through out the week.

*Monday: Sharing Sack: During the week before a student is the Celebrity, a backpack will be sent home with the child. Students have a week to collect special items with which to fill the bag at home and bring it back to share with classmates on Monday. Students should also bring photos of their choice to display on the Celebrity of the Week bulletin board.

*Tuesday: Favorite Book: The Celebrity of the Week 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 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 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.

*Thursday: Lunch Buddy: On this special day, the Celebrity Student can pick a buddy to have lunch with. The Celebrity Student and their buddy may eat in the classroom with the teacher and can work on the computers or play a few of the classroom games. If you would like, you can send in a special lunch for your child on this day.

*Friday: Friendship Poster: The Celebrity of the Week will be presented with a friendship poster created by his or her classmates. The poster will include the Celebrity's picture surrounded by compliments written by his or her classmates.
