M had a little bit of a rough week last week in school…going through the expected adjustments of a new kindergartener. Her teacher was really awesome about the whole matter and in an effort to make M feel better about school she made M Star Student for this week. Of course, being new to the school scene as well, I had no idea what this meant. I thought she had been really good or something so she was rewarded. She had been good but turns out that Star Student isn’t about that. Each week a different student is picked to be Star Student. Each day during that week the class gets to learn a little bit more about the Star Student…..pictures of the student and the student’s family, likes/dislikes, birthday, favorite books…. Chris was even able to read to M’s class today as part of her Star Student “status” which he says was really fun (and M felt really special). I think this was a fantastic move by M’s teacher because M has really enjoyed school this week. So far so good!

Fantastic! I was stunned by how much work being the star student really is, but it is so worth it! Glad Miss M is having a better week. BTW I like the new look of your blog.
