My Star of the Week

All the children in my five-year-old's kindergarten class get to be "star of the week" for an entire week. On the first day, they tell everyone their name, age, favourite food, favourite colour, and favourite activities. On day two, the teacher shows 20 photos that the parents prepare on a USB drive of their child's important moments. On day three, they bring in a sampling of their arts and crafts project of previous years. On day four, they take in their favourite book and song to share with their classmates. And finally, on day five, they bring in their favourite toy to share with their friends. Additionally, the star helps the teacher throughout the week. Our daughter felt very special during this last week, her star week. We, on the other hand, were exhausted, and happy the week was over as it involved quite a bit of preparation.

At the end of the week, her wonderful teacher had compiled drawings that all the children had done, explaining why our daughter was special to them. Although she cannot read the comments yet, she thoroughly enjoys looking at the pictures her classmates had sketched for her.
