Selfie of the Week (A modern take on Star of the Week)

Selfie of the Week (Redefining Star of the Week)

There's a new take on interactive student participation with our Selfie of the Week. This modern teaching resource is designed to engage students from Kindergarten through grade 5, encouraging them to share personal attributes such as favorite food, movie, or color with their classmates in a fun and respectful environment.

Inspired by popular culture ubiquity - the #selfie - this educational tool transcends textbook learning while promoting positive self-image and communication skills among peers. By reimagining a classic classroom ritual, pupils won't just be passive receivers; they are an active part of their own learning process.

The pack includes:

• An example bulletin board display demonstrating how creative you can be in setting up this innovative highlight in your classroom.
• Two types of parent letters included to foster cooperation at home, bridging school-family-community engagement.

On top of that, it provides varying phone sizes where students can draw pictures related to their individual favorites – family photos, preferred food items or books – fueling creativity while allowing for differentiation within classrooms. Another alternative provided is a composite mobile phone drawing comprising 'app' icons depicting aspects from a student’s life.

The package also contains unique Bulletin Board Letters expressing '#SelfieOfTheWeek' – underlining lighthearted atmosphere and inclusiveness that every modern classroom seeks today. You're also provided character illustrations styled by Melonheadz kids series which some students may opt for instead of creating artwork or using their portraits.

To create stories around these valuable ‘selfies’, there are:

• Themed hashtags like #family, #food etc., making each presentation unique and relatable to each week’s star performer.
• To add more depth and better understand each child “Selfie paper is offered where students along with parents/guardians & teachers elaborate about one’s likes/dislikes bringing out nuanced facets surrounding young minds.

This resource is a wonderful catalyst!

For generating student interaction and positivity in learning environments, not to mention a refreshing take on ‘show and tell' with the help of modern technology themes. It can be implemented in whole group activities, small groups or even as an enjoyable homework assignment.

It comes as a downloadable PDF file which provides the assurance that it can be used multiple times flexibly across several years shaping numerous heroes of the week for future cohorts.
