Stephanie Manni Vieira Q&A
What do you enjoy most about teaching Year 3?
Answer:
Year 3 is an exciting stage as students grow in independence and begin to take more ownership of their learning. I enjoy guiding them through this transition and watching their confidence develop day by day.
How do you keep lessons engaging and meaningful?
Answer:
I aim to make learning active and relevant, using practical activities, discussion, and real world connections. When students are involved and curious, they are far more motivated to learn.
What is your goal for your Year 3 students?
Answer:
My goal is to help each child feel capable and supported. I want them to build strong academic foundations while also developing resilience, kindness, and a genuine enjoyment of learning.
