My name is Deborah and I am thrilled that you stopped by.
There is much to see on this blog and my hope is that you will take your time to look around and be inspired by all the wonderful photos, ideas, tips, and information I have shared from my own classroom.
While I am not in the classroom, you can find me in the Honey Bee Hive: Helping teachers thrive in classrooms of ages three to five!
