Hi there!
My name is Miss Stevens, and I am eager to be your child's teacher this school year.
This is my 7th year teaching, and I LOVE 6th grade!
I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. Through this, I was able to complete my student teaching abroad in Melbourne, Australia at an international school. I then taught for two years before earning my Masters degree from Western Governors University in Curriculum and Instruction to enhance my educational background in teaching.
Outside of school, I enjoy training my dog (Henry), working for Mussel Dogs as a K9 handler, and reading at coffee shops!
I believe 6th grade is one of the most important years in education, and I am absolutely thrilled to play a part in your child's life as their teacher this year.
Our classroom will be a place that is safe, and fair for everyone. I value communication and rely heavily on the support provided by families. I am very excited to meet all of you and cannot wait for a successful year!
Sincerely,
Miss Stevens

This year, Stevens' class ONLY will be piloting two differnt curriculums. Resources coming soon as we get them.
Let me start by saying this: I do not feel students should have a ton of homework after they have been at school all day, however, practicing math and having concepts spiraled and reviewed throughout the year is extremely beneficial to their learning. I try to give as much time in class to complete their homework.
Students will be given a weekly review packet (5-A-Day) on Mondays that are due by Friday. Each packet has ELA daily review and math daily review. Students may complete the packet in one day or 4 days, but the entire packet is due by Friday.
Students will be given daily math problems from
All incomplete classwork is homework. Therefore if a student is utilizing class time wisely, they will not have extra homework to complete. Any missing assignments (excluding tests) are also considered homework.
