ABOUT ME...

Hello Families... My name is April Stamper and I will be your child's first grade teacher. Here is a little bit about myself… I graduated from Eastern Michigan University where I earned my Elementary Education degree and certification specializing in Early Childhood Development.  This is my 17th year of teaching.  In that time, I have taught Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades.  Throughout the years, it has been so rewarding helping instill in children a strong positive beginning foundation for future learning experiences.  My background in Early Childhood Development has truly given me a window into teaching and differentiating to each child's individual learning styles and intelligences and doing so by building strong positive teacher/child relationships with a deep understanding of the stages of cognitive development.

Fun Facts About Me:  My husband is a teacher too (but in Plymouth Canton)!  I also have two children; Dayton who is 15 and going into 10th grade; and Maizy who is 12 and entering 7th grade.  My family and I love to travel in the summer.  Below are highlights from some of our recent adventures...
