Our Kindergartener "Star Of The Week!"

One of the most exciting things for a kindergartener is to be the "Star of the Week" for the class.  Hailey has been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting ... for this week ever since school started.  Finally, this last week it was her turn and she was so excited! 

As the Star of the Week, she gets to do a bunch of fun things like being the line leader, the paper passer, and even going out to recess first.  She was even able to bring her favorite snack to share one day and a bag of things that represent her another.  But one of the most exciting things is they get to decorate a poster all about themselves to share with the class and have hung up all week long. 

Hailey came home with instruction about it on Thursday and didn't rest until we had it all put together the next morning (yes, I held out for a whopping 18 hours before I gave in and just did it).  I admit it was mostly so she would just be satisfied - she was relentless in asking me every 5 minutes when we would do it!  And I was glad to have it done because I don't think I could have went the whole weekend with her bothering me about it every few minutes (she wasn't supposed to bring it until Tuesday).  But it was fun to put together and have her tell me all about her favorite things.  We had nearly everything in the house to use so it went together fairly quickly.

Tate and I went to school with her on her special day and helped her present her poster to the class.  She was so cute explaining all of her favorite things and loved having the chance to call on each member of the class to have them ask her a question or tell her something that they liked that was the same as hers.


She was all smiles and even paused for a quick second for me to snap a picture of her actually looking at me.


Here's a close up of the finished product so that you can see all of her fun favorite things.


Her time as the "Star of the Week" went by very fast, but she enjoyed every minute of it.  She still wears her Star of the Week crown and necklace that she got and contiunally talks about all the fun things she was able to do.  Way to go Hailey - you are always a star to us!
