Roland is very good about coming into class and reminding others of their roars and expectations in the classroom. Roland has shown empathy to other students when they needed help or support and has offered to even help. Roland helped to clean the classroom and make sure that it was back in order. These are showing me signs that Roland can be a leader and show others how to use their ROARS!
