A Note from Mrs. B 
Hey there from the beehive!
This has been a crazy, short week and we have been buzz-y!! We are working on our economics project and they are going great so far—the kids are loving creating their products and preparing to sell them to the class next week. Presentations will be on Wednesday.  We’ve also been talking about how God is with us no matter what. This is an especially important message to convey to these little ones so that they know this for their whole lives! The school spell-off went so well yesterday; I am just so proud of all of our spellers. A special congratulations to Bella and Reagan, our 2nd grade representatives this year. BEE-autiful job!! 
Love in Christ, Mrs. B 
