Every week I will pick a student who has
been safe, thoughtful, and respectful to his/her teacher
and classmates to be the Star Student of the Week.
Throughout the week, the student will have the opportunity
to share a few facts about themselves with their
classmates and chose one or two activities for the class
to do together each day. This is something I have chosen
to implement in my classroom because it increases the
student's confidence, helps the students to develop a
sense of community, and recognizes individual student
achievement. The student gets to be a role model for their
classmates, which makes them feel good inside and feel
special because they have reached this achievement. Star
student of the Week allows the teacher to get to know the
students on a personal level and learn about the student's
interests and hobbies, which will help them to tailor
their instruction to meet the individual needs of all
students.
