Welcome to the hive! Home to 15 wild and brainy 1st graders with a love of learning. I am a first-year teacher starting mid-year at a Title 1 elementary school. My busy bees are an energetic bunch and certainly keep me on my toes! I love being their teacher and doing what I can to make them smile from the moment they step foot through our campus doors.
