Student Files: Kimberly


Haha! I can't even think of Kimberly without laughing!

She is so smart. She is so goofy. She is such a tomboy.
For the Science Fair I let 5B choose their groups to work in. They split into two groups; one group was all the girls and the other group was all the boys... and Kimberly. She was totally fine with it. I think Katherine teased her about it. Kimberly shrugged, sat down, and smiled.
Kimberly was named Star Student because of an incident that happened in class.
Alondra would NOT share her Bible book with Byron. Byron had forgotten his and I asked him to share with Alondra (it's punishment--I make the boys and girls share books if they forgot theirs... they do NOT like sitting with a member of the opposite sex! haha!). Well, Alondra didn't just complain, she flat out refused. Poor Byron looked confused and bewildered! Alondra moved her desk two inches farther every time he tried to even look at the book to follow along with the story.
I kept my eye on the situation--Alondra, displaying her stubborn streak, would not give in. Suddenly I saw Byron turn around. Kimberly nodded at me and handed him her book with a smile. She scooted her desk quietly next to Andrea's chair and kept following along. All without saying a word.
Oh, and she's a Math wiz like no other. I love having Kimberly in my class!
