The Knight of the Day is the special person and helper for the day. Each student in the SK/Grade One class will have a turn. Check the calendar posted on the blog (simply click on SK/Grade One Calendar title) to find out when your child is the Knight of the Day.
When it is your child’s turn to be the Knight of the Day, he or she is to bring in something from home to show the class – the Knight’s Secret Surprise. The Knight of the Day will give the class three clues as to what is in the bag and the rest of the class must guess the Knight’s Secret Surprise. For example:
It’s something that starts with the letter D
I sleep with it at night
It’s brown
Answer: My stuffed dog!
For students in grade one:
Once the item has been shown to the class, students must give further information about the object:
-why the item is special to them or why they chose that item (please avoid, "because I like it."
-how they acquired the item (Was it a gift? Did they save their money to buy the item? Did they make it?)
-how often they use the item
Things for everyone to keep in mind:
· The item must fit in the bag provided (no part should stick out as it will ruin the surprise)
· Each student will give the class three clues as to what is in the bag
· You may help your child come up with three clues, or it may been done independently
· The clues don’t need to be written down
· Please don’t send in anything of great value
