Building Community

One of the ways that we build community in our classroom is through our weekly star of the week presentations. Star of the week not only helps us learn more about our friends but it also helps build self esteem and confidence in the star! Last night I had an "ah ha" moment and decided this year to add another component to our star of the week. At the end of each week, each child will fill out a page about the star and this will be included in the book with the stars "all about me pages." I will put all sheets together as a book and at the end of the year it will be a special keepsake for each child! Here is what our new star component looks like! I can't wait to see how both Kylie's (last weeks star) and Sophia's book turn out!
