Flexibility!

Today didn't go as I had originally planned thanks to the AC not working in our hallway, but this class of fourth graders was o-fish-ally awesome!  We relocated to a cooler room and made adjustments to continue our learning.  Fingers crossed tomorrow we will be back in our classroom and have a normal day!
