We are enjoying making new friends and reconnecting with old ones during these early days of kindergarten. So that we will get to know each other better, we will begin today with the "Child of the Day." Each day a student's name will be drawn to select whose special day it is. We will all practice reading and spelling that student's name before it is added to Our Class Word Wall, where it will serve as a model whenever someone needs to write that name.
Next we will interview that day's special child to find out many things about them. Encourage your child to think of interesting questions to ask each other. Some examples could be:

Do you have any pets?
Do you have brothers and sisters?
Where do you like to go on vacation?
What is your favorite season?
What is your favorite sport?

Following the interview, everyone will draw a picture of that child and include one piece of information about them. These will all be assembled into a book about that child.
We will begin with me serving as a model. Tomorrow one of the students will be selected randomly. We will continue each day until everyone has had a turn. We are looking forward to learning lots about each of our classmates.
