Teddy always starts cleaning up as soon as he is asked. He keeps working until the whole classroom is clean, even after he’s already cleaned up everything he was using. When the class was asked to clean up their trash from the floor after lunch, he picked up every piece he saw, without stopping to see if it was his or not. He takes great care of our classroom!
