Welcome to first grade!  This will be my third year teaching at Deer Creek Elementary School and I couldn't be more thrilled.  We have an exciting year ahead filled with many fun learning opportunities.

 

My name is DeAnne Harris and I grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma.  I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma where I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.  I previously taught first grade in Castle Rock, Colorado and I spent many years working with young children.  I have received training in Great Expectations, A+ Schools, and Love and Logic.

 

I am blessed with a wonderful family.  I have been happily married to my husband, Stace, for 15 years.  Stace is a senior account executive for Hospira Worldwide Inc. selling hospital products and pharmaceuticals.  We have two wonderful children that attend Deer Creek Elementary.  Our daughter Katelyn is in fifth grade this year and our son Tyler is in third grade.  We also have a fun and hyper Jack Russell Terrier named Copper.

 

I love spending time with my family and friends.  We enjoy swimming, snow skiing, playing games, watching movies together, and traveling.  I also enjoy reading, and I am an avid soccer mom and a baseball fan too!

 

The students, faculty, and parents at Deer Creek Elementary are outstanding and I feel privileged to be a part of this amazing school district!  It is my belief that every child is capable of learning and has the ability to succeed in our classroom.  I want my students to feel they can achieve anything.  Our classroom environment is one where students feel free to be themselves and are comfortable taking risks.  I believe it is extremely important for all children to feel loved and accepted for who they are.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me throughout the school year.  The best way to contact me is by e-mail at harrisd@deercreek.k12.ok.us.  You can leave a voice message for me at 348-9100 ext. 4568, but I am not able to check my voice mail as frequently.

 

It will be my privilege to get to know each and every one of you.  I am looking forward to a fabulous first grade year of learning together!
