"I'll Be the Best I Can Be"

Olivia is a lively kindergarten student who tends to talk a lot in class. Her school gives out these t-shirts every Friday to students who are following the rules and they present them with the shirt in the cafeteria at lunch. So for the past few weeks she has been working so hard to earn a t-shirt. She would come home and say,"I just really want to get one of those t-shirts. I'm going to follow all the rules so I can get one." She didn't give up when other kids got shirts before she did. Instead she kept working at it and her face was so lit up when I picked her up from school as she came running to me wearing this bright oversized red t-shirt.
Great job Olivia!

I always talked during class too so I know how hard that must have been for her to stay quiet!

great job Olivia. It is very hard to be quiet when you like talking to people.
