Dear Families, 

    Welcome. My name is Mrs. Marksteiner (Mrs. M.) and this year I am your child's 3rd grade teacher! This is my eighth year as a teacher here at Midland Elementary-Middle School and I am very excited for the 2022-2023 school year! 

    I know this year will be slightly different, as I will be on maternity leave mid-March through the end of the school year. I am working hard to make sure the transition process is seamless for your child and will be keeping in close contact with my substitute while on leave. What will not change is my dedication to your child's learning, success, and safety in third grade. 

Remember, you can do HARD things!

My Mission:

    My goal is to create a safe and effective learning environment for your child. I believe in learning through hands-on experiences and forming relationships with one another. In my classroom, there is laughing, engaged learning, hands-on activities for every concept, problem-solving, real-world examples and applications, and many more adaptations to the traditional classroom. I believe that students learn best through seeing, doing, and trial-and-error. It is my pleasure to be your child's teacher this school year and to work along side you to ensure your child receives a high quality education.
