Today was Dojo reward day! These two girls spent their points to play games with Mrs. Mott, and the fun got even better when Mrs. Balestri stopped by to join in.
Mrs. Mott also gave this first grade trio a choice between playing games with her or getting VIP access to the Ag Day animals. Great choices all around and a fun way to celebrate positive behavior!
