Meet Mrs. Colyer
This is my seventeenth year of teaching at Auburn Elementary. My husband, Steve, and I have two daughters. Amanda and Ryan live and work in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Rachel and Tony live in Springfield with their two boys, Carter (12) and Dominic (5), two dogs, three cats, and an ocelot. I love spending time with my family. I have a rescue dog, Ziggy, and our class turtle, Sunny Boy.
Interests and Hobbies
My family & I are St. Louis Cardinal fans. We were able attend a few games this year. We also love to travel. This year we went to Bowling Green, Kentucky to tour the Corvette factory and museum. We take an annual family trip to Florida every August right before school starts. We love the ocean and eating seafood! I am also a huge Mickey Mouse fan!
Teaching Philosophy
I believe in a partnership between parents and teachers and encourage communication among home and school environments. Weekly newsletters & e-mails come home telling about what your child will learn in the coming week, spelling skill and high-frequency words, homework assignments, and upcoming events. Please take time to read them each week. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
