The Student of the Week Kit is an easy, consistent way to build relationships with your students—without adding extra work to your schedule. By focusing on one student at a time, you’ll get to know each child a little better, while giving them a chance to feel seen and valued. The kit is already done for you, so you can focus on connection instead of creating something from scratch. It’s an easy way to support classroom community building while reinforcing your student relationships all year long.
Choose either the “About Me” page or the “Get To Know Me” Flipbook and have your student of the week share their work with the class. This is a quick way to incorporate elementary student spotlight activities without a full display. Either way, you’re building relationships to support your classroom community.
This student of the week kit includes everything you need to run a consistent, low-prep student spotlight routine all year long. Every item is designed to be flexible so you can use them all or pick and choose what works best in your classroom.
Student of the Week Posters
Full-page posters with a large title at the top. Choose either the “Student of the Week” poster or a blank version if you use a different name for your student recognition ideas (like “Classroom Star” or “Busy Bee”). Each version is available with a boy or girl illustration. Laminate once and reuse weekly—just tape each student’s “About Me” or Flipbook to the poster.
Parent Letters (Editable)
Includes two versions—one with a “Student of the Week” heading and one blank. Send the letter home about a week before a student is scheduled, so families have time to gather photos or help their child complete the activities. Each letter includes editable fields where you can type in return dates. It’s an easy way to keep families informed and avoid last-minute surprises.
Teacher Checklist (Editable)
A helpful tracking tool to list each student and the week they’re scheduled. Use the editable version to type in names and dates before printing, or print it blank and fill it out by hand. Keep this checklist with your prepped materials so you’re always ready for the next student.
Student of the Week Poems
Two short poems you can use to introduce the next student of the week. They’re great for decorating your student of the week bulletin board, or for adding to each student’s packet as a cover page or take-home keepsake.
About Me Page
A one-page activity that helps students share key facts about themselves. Includes prompts like birthday, age, family, favorite color, favorite subject, and what they want to be when they grow up. Sized for early writers—big enough for first grade handwriting but not overwhelming.
Get to Know Me Flipbook
A flip book students can complete and share, with sections titled “This is Me,” “My Family,” and “My Favorites.” Available in girl and boy versions. Pre-measured for easy assembly—just print, cut, and staple. This option gives students more space to write and draw, making it a great choice for those who want to share more about themselves.
Class Compliments Page
Includes space for a student photo and speech bubbles where classmates can offer kind words or point out character traits. You can guide the class through the activity or jot down compliments during a group discussion. Makes a meaningful keepsake.
Student Of The Week Crowns (Editable)
Includes “Student of the Week” crowns and blank versions if you use a custom title. Each crown comes in both boy and girl designs. Editable name fields let you type in each student’s name before printing—or print blank and fill in by hand. Then staple to a sentence strip to fit each student.
Certificates (Editable)
End the week with a printable certificate—available in both color and black-and-white versions. Editable fields let you type in your student’s name, the date, and your name before printing. Staple the certificate to the rest of their student of the week pages and send it home as a simple, meaningful keepsake families will want to hold onto.
If you’re looking to add a Student Of The Week tradition to your weekly routine, this kit gives you a flexible structure you can use all year. Choose the activities that work best for your classroom, each will give your students a chance to be recognized, build confidence, and feel like an important part of your classroom community.
Editable Fields
Every file in the kit is formatted as a PDF with editable blue fields (which don’t show when printed). You can type directly into the fields before printing or print first and fill them in by hand—whatever works best for you. This makes it easy to personalize each page with student names, dates, or class-specific information.
Use What Works for You
Some teachers use every piece of the kit each week. Others choose just a few student of the week templates to keep things simple. You don’t have to do everything for it to be meaningful. Pick the parts that make sense for your classroom and schedule.
Match Your Classroom Theme
If you use a different title for your student recognition ideas—like “Busy Bees” or “Star of the Week”—the kit includes versions without the “Student of the Week” heading. That way, you can still use the posters, crowns, and letters while keeping everything aligned with your classroom theme.
Make It Student-Led
This is meant to be a celebration that makes your students feel proud—not pressured. If a student doesn’t want to complete the flipbook or speak in front of the class, it’s okay to scale back. Let them choose what feels comfortable. The goal is to create an elementary student spotlight that supports confidence, not stress.
Support Where It’s Needed
If you know a student may have trouble completing activities at home—whether due to time, resources, or support—consider asking an older student to help. They can assist with writing, assembling the flipbook, or filling in the “About Me” page. That small adjustment can make all the difference in helping every student feel included.
Quick Setup for the Week
The student of the week bulletin board is easy to refresh. Laminate your poster once, and each week just tape the new “About Me” page right on top. Keep your crowns and certificates in a folder or bin for easy access. You’ll be ready to go each week without having to reprint or recreate materials.
Teachers appreciate that this student of the week kit is easy and low-prep. Once your materials are printed and organized, each week runs itself. Just send home the parent letter, update your student of the week bulletin board, and set aside a few minutes for your student to share. The system is built to be flexible, so you can adapt it to your classroom needs without adding extra work to your plate.
It’s also a consistent, easy way to build community in your first-grade classroom. Each student gets their turn to be the Student Of The Week, which also gives students an opportunity to practice speaking and listening skills.
And students love it. They look forward to their week, take pride in their work, and get to see themselves as a valued part of your class. Classroom traditions like this make a lasting impact with your students, without creating more to manage during your busy week.
If you’re looking for an easy, consistent way to build relationships and support your classroom community, this Student of the Week Kit makes it simple. It gives you a ready-made system to celebrate one student at a time, without adding more to your day. With editable templates, low-prep activities, and built-in opportunities for students to connect, it’s an easy way to help every child feel seen, valued, and part of the classroom community.
"I am so happy I signed up for the Literacy Stations Library Card! As a first-grade teacher, finding engaging and effective resources for my students can be a challenge, but this membership has been a game-changer."
