Ms. Stephens' classroom is a positive place to learn because she and her students treat each day as a new one. Every moment they spend together is a new opportunity for greatness. Her classroom is a positive space because she approaches learning in lots of ways. Her students create large-scale projects, like huge 20-foot-long maps, and experiments so large that they need to be taken outside because they are bursting out of the classroom walls!
Ms. Stephens teaches from a place of love, kindness, and respect, and she holds her students to the same standard. They tackle everything together and as a classroom family.
