Star of the Week...

Alexander is Star of the Week!

Earlier this week, we received a bag on Alexander's hook at school. It was labeled "Star of the Week". Inside was information & instructions on what to do, what to include, etc. It explained that each child would be Star of the Week and they would rotate throughout the class. We weren't given a date as to what week would be Alexander's but since the bag was on his hook, we decided to work on the project all together!

Inside the bag you had to list all the reasons why your child is special. We had four pages! There was also a Star of the Week box where the child could pick 3/4 items and put it in the box. They would use the items to guess more about the child. Alexander picked out a train, a Lightening McQueen car, a mini soccer ball, and his train whistle. You could also include a favorite book they would read during the week, and some pictures of your child.

We did the list of special reasons, we filled the box, we picked out a book (Alexander picked "Hello Wally"), we picked out some pictures and also Alexander wanted to include some paintings. Last time there was a "homework" school project, I let Alexander scribble and I just glued our faces on some bodies...but this time I I decided to go a little fancy. I wanted to tell a story and show more of Alexander's personality & what he likes. So this time I decided to make some scrapbook pages out of them! I really like how they came out and it went very cute! We even have to "My Fav" pages of stickers of things he enjoys!Not sure when he is Star of the Week but when he is - he's ready to go!
