Special Me Info

Special Me

Building confidence and self-esteem is vital to each child's well being. We consider all our students to be "stars" at all times, but we will be showcasing one child for an entire week. Each day he/she will bring an item to share with the other students. These items are designated below.

Monday - The student is introduced in class as the Star of the Week and will receive a special item.

Tuesday - The story dictated or written by your child about a favorite time, is read to the class.

Wednesday - Student shares with the class, a picture drawn and colored of his/her family.

Thursday - The child shares a map showing how he/she gets to school from home (does not need to be detailed - adult help is necessary).

Friday - Student shares the "Special Me" folder and brings in items for "estimation jar". Estimation jar should contain non-edible items and should be limited to forty items or fewer. Don't let your child count the objects or he/she will not be able to participate in the estimating. Your items will be be returned to you unless otherwise notified.

The teacher has the "Special Me" folder, the estimation jar and all the other pages needed for the week. The folder and Star of the Week pages will be sent home about two weeks before your child's special week begins.
