It seems like everything is always changing year after year in the classroom. New instructional strategies, new curriculum, and obviously new kids. But I’m not ashamed to say that there are a few practices I hold dear that I’ve been doing since my first year of teaching.
One of our students' favorite things is being star student! Each child gets to be the star student for a whole week. Each day we do something special to celebrate that child! We would love to share these ideas with you, so you can help your own students shine! The kiddos C.A.N.N.O.T wait for their turn. Below is the note we send home to the parents to explain the events for the week. Read this to see what the kiddos get to do each day. Click the image to download for FREE! This is the student page. We encourage each student to write the star student a sentence, and illustrate them a picture. These pages are then complied and stapled together with a (construction paper) cover to make a book for the star student to take home on Friday! If you click the image below, you can download them for FREE. There are 3 variations of the student pages to fit the needs for your classroom. These are the posters the kiddos make at school on Monday! You can get 30 for 8.25 at Oriental Trading. Click the image below to take you to their site! After their week is done, the kids LOVE that they get to take these home. Each child also gets a pencil, sticker, and certificate (pictured below)! This is our show and tell bag. Students take it home at the beginning of the week and bring it back on show and tell day. They can only bring items that fit into this bag. The orange bag and star decal are from Michael's. The bag came in a group of 3 for 9.99 (we used our 40% off coupon of course!!), and the decal was only 1.99. This bag is band new this year, but our last one lasted 5 years! We hope you could use some of these ideas for your classroom! Please share any good ideas you have for star student!

Make your own student of the week bulletin board in your room! I created a simple DIY star student bulletin board template for you to make in your classroom. All you need to do is pick from one of the "star student" phrases, print on colored paper, and hang on your wall! Phrases included: -Star Student -Student of the Month -Student of the Week -Student Spotlight -Student Shout Outs! -All About Me! I included a star student response sheet. You pick which star student form you want to use, and send it home with your student to bring back and display on the board! The rest of the class fills out a "shout out" star and writes one nice thing about the star student. There are three different writing response options: primary, elementary, upper elementary. ***this is NOT editable*** Use #applesandabcsdecor to showcase your board on Instagram!

Lots of our fabulous readers have asked if I do "Star Student". Well, I do. BUT, I call it VIP. I just think it sounds super official and important. YA! Very-Important-Person. I send home a bag with the kiddo who is the VIP that week. I got the bag from Hobby Lobby and the dog from Wal-Mart. Inside of the bag: *Directions for the parents about their childs' VIP week *Stuffed dog named Andy *Adventures with Andy book for kids to write in *Me Sack VIP Directions: Adventures with Andy book {I just stick it in a binder and put the writing pages in individual sheet protectors}. The kiddos take Andy home and play with him, then they have a parent help them write about it and draw a picture. This is their FAVORITE! {You can do any stuffed animal. In my student teaching, my cooperating teacher did this cute little frog because her classroom theme was frogs-I got the idea from her!} The "Me Sack" is a label stuck on a brown paper bag. It's like show and tell, but the items need to be able to tell about the child and it better {p.s. I hate show and tell}. Then, the other students can ask 2 questions and have 2 comments about the items. :) My friend and teaching buddy Ashlee gave me this fabulous idea. Click {here} to download the labels. At the beginning of the year, I send home an "All About Me!" poster to return the first week. I like to do that so when their child is the VIP they don't get overwhelmed. Sorry folks, I got this poster from my teammates and it's not digital! But I did try to recreate it and you can download it at the bottom of this post {you will need to print it out and then enlarge it on your copy machine to fit on 11X17 paper}. I'm always the VIP first. :) I'd love to hear some feedback!!!!! Maybe even some tips! I linked up with Erica Bohrer's First Grade! Some fonts and/or clipart are copyright by Diane J.
