Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
I am excited to introduce this 4-week course of different types of figurative language. Each class we will learn about a new type of figurative language and how it applies to reading and writing. Learners will also be given opportunities to identify and apply figurative language to activities in class.

Below is a list of the class outline for the 8 sessions. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I hope to see your learner in this course!

Hello families!

My name is Stephanie. I live in Massachusetts in the United States of America. I am a fun, passionate, and enthusiastic teacher. My favorite subjects to teach are math, science, and creative writing. There is so much to learn and explore! 

I graduated from Salem State University with a master's degree in Elementary Education. I also have a lot of previous experience teaching learners from Preschool to 4th grade. 

Learning is so much more than just listening to facts. Children need the opportunity to inquire, observe, and discover content that is being taught. My mission as a teacher is to make sure students feel engaged in my lessons and are growing as learners.
