Star of the Week

Last week Brady was chosen as the Star of the Week for his Kindergarten class. This was something Brady was really looking forward to. Mrs. W. (aka "The best Kindergarten teacher on the planet") really knows how to make each kid feel special.

Monday Brady came home with the news that he had been chosen, and he was given the "Me Box" to take home and fill with some of his favorite things. The items and pictures from the Me Box are shared in class on Tuesday and placed in the "Me Museum" for the week. Some of the items Brady brought were his football trophy, his favorite bug book, his shark tooth necklace, among others. On Wednesday, Brady brought one special item in the "mystery bag" and wrote 3 clues for his class to try to guess what it was. He chose to bring his sportsmanship medal from football. On Thursday, they had "Chat and Chew." Brady needed to bring in a yummy treat to share with his class and Daddy and I were to write something special about Brady so the class could get to know him better. Brady chose to bring bags of chocolate chip cookies for everyone, and Daddy and I wrote some special poems describing Brady. At the end of the week, Brady was presented with a friendship book created by his friends.

Brady really enjoyed his time being the Star of the Week, and to us...he is a star every day!
