October Student of the Month- Self-Control

Dante Velasquez is a 5th grade student. Dante consistently demonstrates excellent self-control, even in challenging or stressful situations. He remains calm, thinks clearly, and makes thoughtful decisions. He also sets a positive example by encouraging those around him to make good choices and demonstrates appropriate behavior. During class discussions, Dante respectfully raises his hand, waits his turn, and communicates his thoughts clearly and confidently. He is a wonderful example of self-discipline.

Tesla Anthony is a 1st grade student. Tesla exemplifies self-control in the classroom every day! She shows that she knows our classroom rules and makes good choices even when others aren't. She waits her turn, she keeps her hands to herself, she speaks kindly to others and is calm.
