January 23


Welcome to the Buzz Blog 


Need some ideas for going global?  Check out Skype in the classroom.


Our Mission: It is the mission of Speas Elementary School to provide its students with the tools necessary to successfully meet the challenges they will face in a diverse world.

International Night is Coming!  

Here are the classes and countries so far:

Pre K- Bumbrey- China
           Mitchell- Jamaica
K         Barnes- Canada
           Billingsley- Panama
           Cardona- Costa Rica
           Corley- Honduras

           Badarin
           Johnson
           Merrill- Germany
           Burleson- Greece  

2nd-    Linville Japan, Origami
           Mincer  Russia, Nesting Dolls
           Hoglund India, Henna Tattoos

3rd-   Kelly Kenya
          Ziegler Egypt
          Smutek- Nigeria

          Smith- Argentina
          Woodson- Ecuador

5th-   Dagenbach- Papua New Guinea
          Miller- Austrailia
          Henning- New Zealand

If you don't have an activity yet, maybe you could use an Olympic Themed activity to tie into the winter olympics

  




Teachers, need another way to practice basic skills.  Manga High will allow you to target skills and quickly check on student progress.  You can also challenge other classrooms in the US or around the world.  (This may be a good way to est. a relationship with a school on your continent?)  Take a look.
