Each week, a new student get chosen to be our lucky STAR LEADER for the week. They are in charge of the morning calendar each day (this includes counting by 2's, 5's, 10's, looking up the day's temperature and guiding the class through each pat of our calendar board). On Friday, the leader gets to share with the class something special while the class creates a booklet for them (pictured below) of reasons why they like the person.

WRITING LETTERS TO SHUAI IN BEIJING, CHINAFor Chinese New Year, I set up a video chat between my student, Shuai, in China and my grade 1/2 class. Shuai taught the class all about Chinese New Year and was able to show them traditional "Dumplings" and answer a few of their questions. The class decided to write Shuai thank you letters for his help :) We connected with the Canada Post and were able to bring in a representative to collect all our letters and stamp to send them all the way to Beijing, China :)
