July 24, 2017 by Stephanie

About Stephanie

Hi! My name is Stephanie (more commonly known as Mrs. M to my students) and I am an upper grade teacher. From the moment I stepped into my first classroom (a 4/5 split class), I knew that upper grades were for me. The interaction and level of conversation, the content I am teaching, the level of understanding the upper grade kids have... I was caught hook, line, and sinker by the upper grade bug.
