Introduction from our Spanish teacher, Senora Steelman

I grew up in Columbia and graduated from Mizzou with a degree in elementary education and certifications through junior high in math and Spanish. After teaching middle school and junior high Spanish for Columbia Public Schools, I stayed home with my son until he started preschool at SCCS. I taught Spanish to his class and have continued teaching preschool and elementary Spanish at SCCS since then. My son is now in the fourth grade at Grant School where my husband has been teaching fourth grade for 17 years. We love to play, pray, read, travel, golf, fish, and spend time together. We’re fortunate to have extended family in Columbia, too. Some of our favorite family activities are hanging out, eating, and watching Mizzou basketball and football together. Go Tigers!

Our elementary Spanish classes combine an exploration of the Spanish language with a touch of Hispanic culture. Students will sing, play, read, write and speak while learning the alphabet and basic vocabulary including weather, calendar, numbers, colors, animals, body parts, conversational phases, etc.
