Today was a Terrific Tuesday in room 204! This morning I was out at a district writing workshop meeting and got the most glowing report from our guest teacher. She said our class was so respectful and cooperative. I am so proud of them and missed them greatly while I was away! In the afternoon we began drafting our personal narrative and took the social studies moodle assessments. Get ready for a great another great day!

*Please encourage your child to bring a water bottle to class so he/she does not have to leave class when thirsty!
