Student of the Month "Positive Attitude"

Student of the Month for September - Positive Attitude - Penny Smith

I nominated Penny Smith for positive attitude. Penny is the student of the month nominee for our class because of her contagious smile and happy attitude that she brings to the classroom each and every day. She enters with a smile on her face and a cheerful greeting and is ready to start her day. She is eager to learn and creates positive relationships with any person she comes in contact with. Her love for her school and classmates is evident by the way she treats others and her outlook on life. She is always kind to others and I often catch her giving encouragement or hugs or both! She has an uplifting spirit that can make anyone feel special. Penny is truly a great example for positive attitude and is well-deserving of its title. Way to go!

Great job Penny!

Happy Halloween!

We celebrated Halloween at Ben Davis on Thursday. What a day! We all dressed as book characters and the kids had a great time trying to figure out who each person was.

 

Say "Happy Halloween!"

Had to join the kiddos for one group pic

 

After lunch, it was time to celebrate our class learning all our addition facts! We've been working hard since September to master all facts from 0-20. The kids got different toppings based on which facts they were able to finish. We enjoyed this yummy treat.

Ice cream sundae time!

Hala brought in a treat bag for each child

Thank you to all the parents who came in to lend a helping hand!

 

After our ice cream had been devoured, we loaded up on the bus and took the short trip over to Leon Sheffield for a haunted house!

 

Waiting to go in...some are a little nervous!
