About+Me...

Hello! I'm Deanna. I'm a graduate of Gannon University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. I continue to take graduate courses and various workshops to keep up with new ways of improving my teaching and the student's learning. I have been teaching for seventeen years. I have previously taught sixth, second, fourth, and computer. I am excited to be teaching first grade. It is a very rewarding job to be able to watch the students grow physically, academically, and spiritually.  My husband, Jamie, and I reside in Meadville with our two daughters. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and doing a variety of activities with them.

 Here are few of my favorite things...
 * Season --Fall and Spring
 * Sports --watching hockey and football
 * Sweet foods --chocolate, cookies, toasted marshmallows (burnt)
 * Hobbies --swimming, drawing, rollerskating, and walking
 * Color(s) --all of them
 * Flower --carnations, gerber daisies, and mums
