This is something that I came across in TE 401/402 last year and thought it was a great idea to use in my future classrooms. This year we are selecting a student each week to be the "Student of the Week". The student of the week has an opportunity to share their favorite subjects, sports, vacations, etc. A bulletin board is designated for the student to add pictures and their interests. Each week a student will have a chance to share an artifact they bring in. This is a great way to get to know your students better and to boost their confidence in the classroom. I will continue to use this for my teaching career. The first student of the week was a great success! She brought in a poster full of pictures of her family and friends. Today, she surprised everyone by bringing in her stand-up bass. She played a few songs and the class was amazed. Students look forward to sharing their favorite things with their classmates, its great for building a community within your classroom!
