I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.  My name is Amy Johnson and I will be teaching second grade.  I am thrilled to be a part of the Deer Creek Elementary School team and I am very excited to meet you.

        To give you a glimpse of who I am, I would like to share a little about myself.  I graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education in May 1997.  In the fall of 1998, I was employed by Enid Public Schools where I spent six of my nine years of teaching.  The other three years were spent at St. Joseph Catholic School.  This is my second year at Deer Creek Elementary!

        My family consists of my husband, Adam, and three children, Jordan, Isabel and Garrick.  Adam is a Field Controller for Great White Energy.  Jordan will be in the ninth grade, Isabel will be in the fourth grade and Garrick will be in the first grade.  All three of my kids are Deer Creek Antlers! 

        In my spare time I enjoy attending my children’s activities, reading and playing tennis.  I also thoroughly enjoy learning.  So any opportunity I have to attend courses that further my education or activities that make me think I jump at the chance.

        Your child is coming to my classroom as a unique individual with different experiences, interests, backgrounds, learning styles, and dreams for the future.  In order to create a learning environment, which draws on the strengths of diversity and individuality I will turn to my Professional Code of Ethics. 

My Vision is to be:

·        An understanding and caring person

·        To set high standards for myself as well as my students

·        To help each student to achieve their goals

·        To listen and act with a caring spirit that reflects love, kindness, gentleness, goodness, patience and joy.
