Star of the Week Ideas

I believe that every student should be praised at some point during their school years. I feel as though in the early childhood years, teachers should make it a point to have a star student each week. Growing up, many of my teachers had lots of ideas for the star of the week to do. I think there are many different things that can be combined to make my star of the week in my classroom. First off, I think the student should be able to be the designated "line-leader" for the entire week. I know that being the "line-leader" makes students feel so special and important, so I feel as though this would be a good way to make them feel wanted. Another activity the student could be able to do is be the designated "errand-runner" for the week. This job would be given in order for the teacher to have to run less errands around the school, and it would also make the student feel like they were missing a little bit of class. The last task that the student star of the week could do would be bringing a show and tell item on the last day of their "reign." This would allow the student to share something with the class. When all of the students have been the star student of the week, all the students would know something special about every student in the room. These are just some ideas that teachers can do in order to make every student in his/her classroom feel important.
