She never complains about any of the work that she has to do and always has a positive attitude in all that she does. She always gives 110% effort and has made great gains throughout the school year already. She encourages others in a quiet manner and proves to be a great example herself by being a good listener, raising her hand, not talking when the teacher is talking, etc. I am very proud of all of your successes Aubree and look forward to all that you will accomplish the rest of this school year and the years to come. Keep on being the amazing student that you are!!!” Aubree’s favorite part of school is recess. She likes swinging with her friends. She really likes math too.
