Welcome to Mrs. Steen's Home Page

Welcome to the fifth grade! First I want to introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Steen and I have been teaching for about 14 years in both High School and Elementary Schools. I found I love working with students in fifth grade so I'm very happy to be your teacher. I have three adult children and one granddaughter. My husband and I love the water and spend our summers on the Chesapeake Bay sailing. Below is a photograph of my family and me enjoying a day on the bay. I enjoy working with computers and I will be sharing my knowledge with you so you can use computers as a tool to help you produce your projects.

Hopefully you find the information on this site helpful and fun. Below are some links to help you complete projects and some educational game sites. I've attached some additional pages of projects we will be completing in class. I hope you find these learning opportunities challenging and fun.
