Welcome to Mrs. Harris’ first grade class! This will be my third year
teaching at Deer Creek Elementary School and I couldn’t be more thrilled. We
will 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 have been blessed with two wonderful children that are proud to be Deer
Creek Antlers. My son attends Deer Creek Elementary and my daughter attends
Deer Creek Intermediate School.
I love spending time with my family and friends. We enjoy swimming, playing
games, reading, watching movies together, and traveling. 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 my extension is 4568, but I am not able to check my voice messages as
frequently.
I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you this year
and helping your child grow in our classroom. We will have a fabulous time
in first grade!
