Name:  Julie Griffin School:  Deer Creek Elementary Class:  Passport Reading, Room 408 Contact Info:  348-9100 x4530                      griffinj@deercreek.k12.ok.us About Me... Hello, I'm Julie Griffin and I want to welcome you to a sensational year in reading.  I'm very excited and proud to be teaching at Deer Creek Elementary!  I am a 1997 graduate of The University of Oklahoma with a Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education and a minor in social studies.  So, I guess you might say that I am an avid Sooner Fan!  And, even though I bleed Crimson and Cream, I can occasionally be a Cowboy's fan, although only because of marriage!  My husband Ty is a graduate of OSU, yes we are a House Divided.  So, I will cheer for both teams, that is unless it's Bedlam, then it's "BOOMER!... SOONER!" for me!   This year will be my 11th year as an educator and I'm so, so excited to be teaching passport reading!  I taught 2nd grade for 8 years so I understand just how essential reading is to our young learners.  My previous teaching experience includes 4 years in Tulsa; 1 year at Jenks Southeast Elementary and 3 years at Cedar Ridge Elementary.  And, after staying at home for 3-1/2 years to be with our children, I took a position teaching 3rd grade in OKC.  Once I was back in the classroom, I knew how much I missed being a Teacher, I really missed "teaching", I missed all of those amazing "ah-ha!" moments and the look on a child's face when they learn something for the first time.  So, I applied for this position, and as they say, "the rest is history".  This will be my 6th year at DCES and I'm ecstatic! 
In the summer of 2002 Ty was promoted within his company, so we moved from our hometown of Tulsa to Edmond.  He is in the pharmaceutical industry and is a Hospital Representative with Astellas Pharmaceuticals.  He calls on the hospitals here in the OKC area.  We absolutely love it here and are happy to call Edmond home!  We have 2 wonderful children, Tucker who is in fourth grade and Tatum who is in first grade this year.  They both keep us very, very busy and VERY, VERY entertained! 
I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you and can't wait to have a wonderful year full of fun!  We will be one busy group learning and having a ball while doing it.  It's going to be a year full of fantastic and fascinating learning possibilities!  So, let's get started!  Mission:  POSSIBLE! My mission for this class is for every child to not only learn to his or her full potential but far beyond.  Because, I believe that EVERY CHILD CAN LEARN!  And not only will they learn, but we will have a fun time while doing it!
