Year-Round
Activities
Student of the Week &
Travelling Pet
Please make sure to sign up your
child for these wonderful activities as these 2 are the children favorites!
Both activities allow every child to make and share memories with their
classmates. Student of the week will run from August through January and
Traveling Pet from January to the end of the School Year.
For the student of the week
activity, every week a child is given a set week that he/she are the student of
the week. On Monday of their week, the student of the week should bring a poster
and a book created with family pictures, favorite books, sports/hobbies,
animals or anything they are interested in. Also, on their week parents and the
student of the week may pick a day to present the poster and the book to the
class. The student of the week may also bring favorite toys and books to school
so they can share with classmates.
As for the Traveling Pet activity,
the classroom pet will spend a whole week with the child and family. During
that week, parents and the child will have fun together with a new member of
the family while providing love and care to the pet. Our pet loves to read at
night, go to the park, visit museums, give hugs and kisses! However, the pet
does not like taking a bath as he can get sick. Parents and child will enjoy
bonding time and making new memories and the child will be very excited to
share all the memories with his/her classmates. In their week parents and the
child should bring to school a collage of pictures and a brief description of
what they did with the pet. A parent should make sure to place the collage inside
the traveling pet bag.
Sign up to both activities today!
Sign-up sheets are available at the entrance of the classroom.
