Star of the Week!

This week Sam is finally Star of the Week. She has been waiting for so long for this to happen. Every week, one student in her class gets randomly picked to be “Star”. When you are star, the first day you bring in a poster with a bunch of pictures of you, your family, whatever you want, really. On other days, you get to bring “star snack”, you bring in 3 favorite toys or objects to talk about, there is a “star interview” (a sheet is sent home with some questions about the star and the teacher interviews the star based on those questions, and finally, on the last day, the star brings home the “star compliments” book which is a book assembled of drawings each of the classmates does of the star and says why they are special. It is probably the most exciting thing they do in their minds. I am so happy that Sam gets to be star this week because with Joe passing and the funeral coming up it would be good for her to be the center of attention in her class for a while. Let people make a fuss over her and all that. It will be a good distraction for all of us, I think.
Sam was so excited to make her poster. She asked for orange posterboard and the only kind I could find was metallic (oh, what a shame 🙂 ). She told me what kinds of pictures she wanted and we printed them out. When it came time to adhere the pictures, I was going to use double-sided tape, but Sam had her own ideas. She used stickers to hold them on. She is quite original! I think it turned out amazing. I bet it was the nicest star poster yet!
