Introducing Mrs. Steers

I can't wait to get to know all of you and your amazing children!  But until we meet, I bet you'd like to know something about your child's new teacher...

I am originally from Ione, Oregon (a town of 275 people total) and moved to Emmett for High School.  My parents are both teachers...my mom, recently retired, is now a volunteer in my classroom (your child will know her as Mama Sue); my dad teaches in Emmett still.  My husband and I both graduated from EHS in 1999.  I went on to get my degree from Eastern Oregon University and married after graduation.  I started my teaching career here at Mill Creek Elementary School as a Kindergarten teacher, moved to second grade my second year, followed by four years in third grade and finally got the opportunity to move back to my FaVoRiTe grade three years ago.  I absolutely love everything about second grade and am so excited to be teaching it this year! I am also an alumni of the great  Boise State University where I received a a master’s degree in Literacy.
My husband and I just celebrated our eighth anniversary this August.  We have two beautiful children, Jordyn (age 6), and Jamison (turning 5 in October).  We live in Sand Hollow with our Golden Retriever and Yorkie/Pug mix (I call him a Porkie).  I absolutely love country living and teaching in such a wonderful and tight-knit community.  It reminds me of my own hometown! It is my hope that your child will have a wonderful experience in my classroom this year.  I am passionate about what I do and I work hard to create a balanced program in which learning is FUN and individualized for each child.  Second grade is an exciting transitional year full of academic growth and personal development.  I look forward to watching your child grow and mature right along beside you!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have during the school year!
