Bella James is the third grade student of the month from Justus Gage Elementary.  Bella was chosen because she always listens to her teacher, is a good friend to her classmates and has excellent writing skills.  The best part of school for Bella is making new friends and learning new things in reading and math. She likes learning about similes, metaphors, vocabulary words and multiplication facts .  What impresses me most about Bella is her friendliness and willingness to help other students in the class. When she’s not in school she likes to read and play games with her family. Her family includes her father Scott,  her mother Lorice, Gabriel her older brother and Noah her younger brother.
