About Ms. Steres
About Ms. Steres
This is my 17th year teaching in San Marcos. Having taught 5th grade for 14 of those 17 years, I can say without a doubt 5th grade is the best! I am excited to be a Joli Ann Jaguar and even more excited to be YOUR teacher! I am eager to investigate the various subjects with you (ranging from figurative language to multiplying/dividing fractions to the American Revolution). Along with teaching, I love books (if you have a suggestion for our classroom library, please let me know) and learning new things.
My Education
I went to elementary school in
La Jolla
, middle school in
Bonsall
, and high school in
Fallbrook
. I received my Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from
Pomona College
. After college, I moved to
Chicago, Illinois
and worked at the
Field Museum
before enrolling in a teacher credential program. Missing California, I moved back and received my credential and Master of Arts (M.A.) from
California State University San Marcos (CSUSM)
. Additionally, I am a National Writing Project Fellow, a Colonial Williamsburg Fellow, and GATE certified.
My Family
I am very close to my family. After retiring, my parents moved to
Kauai
. My mom was a psychologist, and my dad was a lawyer then a middle school teacher. My sister, brother-in-law, nephews, and niece live in
Manchester, England
. Both my sister and brother-in-law work for the
University of Manchester
, while my nephews and niece work on being the cutest, most curious, and happiest siblings on the planet. All of us love spending time together, and most of all, we love laughing together!
Things I Love
I am obsessed with reading. I love to travel (e.g., Kauai, England, Scotland, and Italy). I enjoy relaxing with friends, learning, hiking, visiting my neighborhood's Farmers' Market, listening to the news on the radio, and going to the gym. I am addicted to chocolate (with nuts) and love a good cup of coffee. However, the thing I love the most is working with students each day!
