Welcome to Mrs. Stephenson’s 2nd Grade Classroom!

Welcome to Mrs. Stephenson’s 2nd-grade class! With 20 years of teaching experience, I’m excited to embark on another year in Arizona. My classroom fosters respect, kindness, and excellence in work. Our daily schedule includes reading, math, science, and more, alongside special activities like art and music. Students will work towards individual goals in reading and math, and there will be opportunities for hands-on learning through field trips. Communication with parents is key, with progress reports and a welcoming environment for volunteers. Let’s make this year amazing!
