My name is Mr. Massaglia (known as Mr. M). This is my 3rd year at Nance. It is now my second-year teaching 1st grade. I love working with this age because it is an important age to learn foundational skills which include phonics, handwriting, and number sense. In first grade we will begin adding and subtracting to 20, learn new and challenging high frequency words, identify main idea and details in a story, and also learn about the community.

A little bit of information about me. I am from Minnesota but have lived in St. Louis for over 12 years. I recently graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Masters in Teaching and Learning. I am now enrolled to start another Masters program in the Fall. I enjoy running, doing yoga, cooking, and reading. My favorite animals are frogs and turtles. I love pizza and coffee! My favorite color is green. I love the Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Timberwolves. I have also started painting!
