Well, typically (and given Henry's birthday) he should be in 5th grade unless Henry had to repeat a grade, or started late. However, Regina didn't seem the type for an underachieveing son.

So, perhaps MM teaches several grades, but more notably was fourth grade because that gave her time to get to know Henry at age 9 to 10 because October was when Henry went to Emma and if she was the way I suspect (4th and 5th) it would give her more than just 2 months to give Henry the book and for Henry to realize things.
