Kindergarten star

In a sign that things are going well for Ella in kindergarten, she told me that when a new girl joined the class this week, Mrs. A asked Ella to spend her center time playing with the new friend at the dollhouse (a big treat) to help her feel welcome.  And today when Mrs. A needed a book from the media center, she sent Ella and her classmate C on the errand.  And after that, Mrs. A sent Ella down the hall to another kindergarten room to find out the schedule for recess.  I will venture to say that her teacher has quickly figured out that Ella is helpful and trustworthy.  Hooray!
