We Love Teaching

Welcome

  • It is such a pleasure to welcome your child to 3rd grade! This year, he/she will experience many new and exciting educational experiences. Third grade brings many changes; your child will read more challenging texts, think critically, and begin to work independently. He/she will also become more proficient on the computer. This will lead to a lifetime of successful learning. We are looking forward to making memories to last a lifetime! -Mrs. Steffen & Mrs. Smith

  • P2

    Mrs. Steffen is a team leader for the Positivity Project. The Positivity Project (or P2) was created in order to help students build positive relationships and increase empathy. P2 is a research-based character education program designed to teach students about character strengths. The students will spend ten minutes per day learning about the 24 strengths. They will identify their own strengths, as well as those of others, through discussions and engaging activities. 

    A calendar will be sent home so you know when each strength will be discussed.

About the Teacher

  • Welcome to our class! You will notice right away that there will be a lot of singing. Mrs. Steffen sings songs for many reasons: music adds "fun" to the classroom, it gives you a chance to exercise and prepare your brain for learning, and it helps you remember things. Some other things that Mrs. Steffen likes to do are paint, draw, dance, ice skate, ski, go out to eat, spend time with family, and SHOP! Mrs. Smith will also work with you this year. We know that you are going to have a great time with us in third grade.
