    Welcome to First Grade!

    My name is Suzy Emerson and I am your child’s teacher this year.  

    I am a graduate of Ottawa University with
    a B.S. in Early Childhood Education. 

    This is my 17th year at Diamond Canyon.
    Prior to teaching, I worked as an instructional aide in Kindergarten
    and Special Education.  
    Before that, I coordinated an in-home childcare facility

    for 11 years.  
     

    I have been married for 33 years to a wonderful man named Jeff.  

     My husband and I have 3 amazing sons -

    Justin, Jon, and Jared.

    Justin and his wife Elaine have 2 1/2-year-old boy named Archie and a 9-month-old daughter named Carly.

    Jon and his wife Lydia (the "other Mrs. Emerson" at D.C.) have a 7-month-old daughter named Rayleigh!  

    Together we love traveling and watching the grandbabies. 

     

    I grew up here in Phoenix, 
    but San Diego is our family's favorite vacation spot.
     I enjoy taking pictures, attending concerts - Rob Thomas in particular - and walking my dog, Josie.
      I love the characters from Suzy’s Zoo.
    Suzy is my favorite, of course. 
    Speaking of favorites...Ariel (the Little Mermaid) is my girl!

      Curling up with a good book is another thing I love to do! 

    My love of reading has grown from a great respect and appreciation of children’s literature. I hope to nurture a love of reading through wonderful books 
    that I will share with your child this year.
