Our class mascot: Miss Moo At the beginning of the year I have her sitting around the classroom. She demonstrates good classroom behaviors. After a few weeks, I send her home with the star student. She stays at the student's home for one night. I only send her home Monday-Thursdays. I take her home Friday to give her a bath in the washer! Her take home pack consists of: 1. Miss Moo and her sleeping sack (a drawstring bag) 2. Her homework folder- inside is a laminated note with parent directions and a personalized photo book of Miss Moo) 3. A pencil 4. A spiral journal 5. A writing response sheet At home the student needs to complete the following tasks: 1. Read the story to Miss Moo 2. Write in the class journal 3.
