Hayes from 2B!


Hayes is a really observant kiddo that picks up on other's emotions and is quick to show empathy. Sometimes it's for showing excitement for somebody who accomplished something- and being one of the first ones to tell them "great job!". On another day, it's usually Hayes that is concerned about a friend who is sad or he asking if he would be able to go and help that friend. I am very proud of him with how he thinks of others and how he shows empathy to all of our classmates inside and outside of school!
