Brooklyn is a sparkling light in our classroom and all around DuJardin! She demonstrates genuine kindness and truly has a pure heart. Her smile is contagious and spreads happiness to everyone who interacts with her. She models greatness in all areas. In library, she is on task and ready to learn, leading others in her exemplary behavior. In PE class she is an incredible teammate, and is constantly helping out her partners and group members. She leads by example, but also isn't afraid to speak up when something isn't right. Her caring nature makes her someone her classmates are drawn to. During art, she always tries her best and follows all directions. She is one of the first to volunteer to help others, and always has words of encouragement and compliments for her friends' artwork! Her behaviors in the classroom are also consistently respectful, responsible, and caring. Brooklyn follows classroom rules and routines without needing any prompting or reminders, and during lessons she stays focused and attentive. When Brooklyn is working through challenging skills or tasks, there is something magical about the way you can actually see the wheels in her head turning as she strives to make something click! Her tenacity results in her having such a sense of pride and accomplishment as she learns something new! Brooklyn has a soft and refined nature about her, but don’t let that fool you because inside she is strong and tenacious! In our classroom, we follow the phrase, “We’ve got grit, we don’t quit,” and Brooklyn exemplifies that. We are honored to have Brooklyn Lead like a Jaguar here at Dujardin!
