Meet Garrett

We're in Red Ribbon Week and every student received a red wristband. Garrett asked if he could bring all his wristbands...well, I think he has about 30. We were impressed. He told us about every single one of them!

Garrett is an encourager! I can't remember a single time when he hasn't been positive and ready to help anyone who needs it. Today, we were working on a rock review. I noticed he was turned around in his chair, so I asked him what he was doing. He told me he was helping Mariah understand one of the questions and explaining to her how to interpret that pumice was an extrusive rock. The Encourager!

In the mornings, we run. It's amazing how much so many of the students have improved. We have one Room 8'er who has a difficult time. Probably about a month ago, she was far behind...Garrett was already finished. He asked me if he could run again and run with Ashley. I said OF COURSE! So here goes Garrett...sometimes he trots alongside her...sometimes he will stay behind, tell her to get a little ahead of him, and then when he sprints, for her to try to stay ahead of him. She definitely does better with Garrett encouraging her. I love to watch him. His heart is so big...

Garrett loves sports! He also loves math and is what I would call a math-whiz. Last year in 3rd grade, Mrs. Henry would send him to me so I could see some of the math he was able to do. Garrett also has an awesome brother - Andrew. What a wonderful pair of guys...and I've been fortunate enough to have them both.
