Star of the Week!!

Each Monday a child will be chosen to be the Star of the Week.

First we will draw a child's name and place a star hat on them.

We will take a sentence strip and model writing the child's name.

Putting that name on the Easel, we will rewrite their name again.

As we are writing their name we will pay special attention to each letter.

Then we will cut the letters apart leaving out each sound .

After the name is cut up the child will get to put their name back together again, using the first sentence strip as a guide.

All of the children will get a white board to try to write the Star Students name.

Then we will add the child's name to the word wall and let the cheering begin!

Everyone will cheer out the child's name- "Give me a ------what's that spell?

Then we will clap, snap, howl, growl, chant, "yell" & "whisper" their name.

After we have finished we will then have the children draw a picture of the star student and we will create a book that they can take home.

On Friday the children will trace the Star Student on a large peice of butcher paper.

During center time each group will get to measure the arms, legs, head etc... with various materials and then color it to make it look like a star student.

The Star Student will get to take home their book and class drawing on Friday.
