    Hello!  Thanks for coming to our classroom website! My name is Susan Smith and this is my twenty-second year in the Deer Valley School District teaching Second Grade. I am originally from Chicago, Illinois and graduated from Naperville Central High School, and Eastern Illinois University. I moved to Arizona to be close to my parents who have retired here. In May 2003, I graduated from Grand Canyon University with my Master's Degree in Education. I married my husband, Ben Smith, on the beach in Maui, Hawaii in 2004. I live in Peoria, with my husband and my darling children!  Benjamin, was born on May 2, 2008, and Izabella, born on December 30th, 2011.  In July 2019, we got a new Chesapeake Bay Retriever Puppy named Cody. We completed our family with our two rescue kitties, Star and Lily in 2021. I have a very outgoing personality and enjoy building positive relationships with my students and parents.  
    In my spare time I enjoy paddle boarding, cooking, playing Ultimate Frisbee, doing puzzles, reading, playing games on the Nintendo Wii (Wii Bowling is a favorite), and especially spending time with my kids. My kids especially enjoy our countless hours spent baking and cooking together!
