Welcome to the 2015-2016 school yeat!

Welcome to the Home of the Buzy Bees! I am so excited that a new year is about to begin! Our classroom blog will be used throughout the year. Please add it to your favorites. This blog will be used and updated daily and weekly. It will be your look into our classroom. I will be posting spelling words, homework, pictures of things we are doing in class. Please check the blog frequently or subscribe to follow our blog. Updates will be emailed. We are going to have a great year this year. I am adapting more technology into my curriculum and am very excited to share it with my brand new class along with  reading and math . I am looking forward to a great school year.
