In full day kindergarten, each child will have an opportunity to be the VIP
student. The selected kindergartener can share in a variety of ways with
his/her fellow classmates. Listed below are the directions for this activity:
Day One/All About Me - Bring a poster (Mrs. Connell will provide) of
pictures depicting important events in your child's life, i. e. baby,
vacation, family events, birthdays, etc.
Day Two/Favorite storybook Bring a special storybook for Mrs. Connell to
read to the class.
Day Three/Show & Tell Bring a special item for show & tell, i.e.
vacation
mementoes, awards, collections, etc. Please put item in an opaque bag and
have three clues prepared so the other children may guess about the
VIP's show & tell. Please don't send anything of great value or that can
be easily broken.
Day Four/Estimation Jar Bring the container Mrs. Connell will provide in
which you have placed items that the class can guess/estimate how many such
as pom-poms, pennies, buttons, gummy bears, jelly beans, tootsie rolls,
etc. If you are sending edible items, please be aware your child will be
sharing these with the class. Also, be sure you and your kindergartener
have counted the items and written the number on a sheet of paper to give to
Mrs. Connell.
Day Five/Special sharing The VIP may invite family members to come to class
at 2:15 PM. At that time, the VIP may create with his/her classmates a
special snack, (please keep in mind that this is the end of the day and we
will not be able to use the ovens in the multi-purpose room. We do have a
micro-wave oven and an electric frying pan available), simple craft (I have
lots of supplies, so please check with me if you need anything), simple
science experiment, demonstrate a special skill or talent or share additional
mementoes or another special book.
If the days I have assigned for your child are not convenient, please let me
know quickly so other arrangements can be made. Each child will be
assigned five school days, but if a pesky illness or school is closed due
to inclement weather; we will attempt to make up your child's special days.
I have my fingers crossed that all will run smoothly.
