Magnificent Monday!

We had a marvelous Monday in room 204.  This morning we had time for math, math and Eng Tech.  In the afternoon we had Spanish, reader's/writer's workshop, Spanish,  book shopping and cursive!  It was a very busy day of learning.  I look forward to meeting with many of you at conferences this evening!
