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. Finish the response sheet (asks the students to write and draw about Miss Moo's visit)

The student brings Miss Moo back the next day. At morning meeting time we share what the student wrote about Miss Moo's visit.

I have had great luck with this project! We are on round 2 of visits. This time the student reads a book and plays a rhyming game. For round 3, I would like to send home a small mini science experiment for families to try. We will see how that one works :)
