Bee Good, my Bees!

 In case you didn't get to see my farewell to you, please know that I love you and miss you. 

Have a great year and enjoy Ms. Jennings, who is not a grouchy old teacher!  😉

(And yes, of course my farewell song is Cyndi Lauper, I'm an 80s girl!! Gen X Rules!!)

Farewell, My Bees

Love to you all and your families,

Ms. Hoeppner 💚

Benton Tik Tok


Since we are NOT getting to do a Talent Show this year,
maybe we can do a virtual type of Talent Show...
something like Tik Tok for Benton.

What I need from you is to make a SCHOOL APPROPRIATE talent video
of you (you can include your family, too) that is 1-2 minutes long
(no longer than 2 minutes) and email it to me by May 15th.
Please send the video file that you make with your phone, tablet, or computer.

Then I (with Mr. Ray’s help and guidance) will put together a video to share with everyone.
My video will include all the talents that are school appropriate and 2 minutes or less!
Then I’ll share it with the school!!

Perform a song or a dance or routine or something fun and email it to me by May 15th!!

Random stuff for all grades!!

Hey all! It really stinks I don't get to see you and share music with you. It is for the best while we're trying to keep everyone healthy, but it doesn't make it any more fun. Here's how I feel about you and I miss you all so much:  A song about how much I miss you all!!!

I've added fun songs, games, and books to each of the grade level tabs here. I'm adding a few more each week. Here is one for everyone:

Teach your family to do Night at the Museum. You can use any song, but if you want "Hair Up from Trolls, follow this link:  Hair UP!

If you want to add your favorite songs right now to our school Stay at Home list, please use this link to get to the survey and add them! These do need to be school appropriate, of course.

Add your favorite songs here

And find the updated list of songs you've added here:

Harriet Tubman, the song!

Hey all,

Our second and third graders have been working hard on learning a song about Harriet Tubman this month. We're making recordings of our singing this week and I'll be adding links here for each of those classes. Check below to find YouTube links to each of the classes singing this song! (You'll only hear us, not see us because I haven't figured out how to play guitar and video everyone very well, yet!
