Welcome First Grade Friends!

I have taught in Deer Creek since 2002. This year will be my twelvth year to teach. Previous Oklahoma schools that I’ve taught in are Shidler and Maud. I taught Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten from 1997-2002. While teaching at Shidler, I was honored by my fellow teachers by being voted district teacher of the year 1999-2000. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood and Elementary education from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford. Go Bulldogs!

Throughout the year, I continue my education by attending teacher workshops. Workshops that I’ve attended are Guided Reading, Great Expectations, Teaching with the Brain in Mind, Schools Attuned, Literacy First, and most recently a Teacher Reading Academy for first and second grade.

I grew up in Weatherford, OK. I have three sisters and come from a background of educators. My parents both teach in the Weatherford public school system. In the summer of 2005, I married Doug Wittrock. My husband graduated from Oklahoma State University and is a banker at Community National Bank in Okarche. He also enjoys raising cattle on the family farm.

Outside of school, I enjoy photography/scrapbooking, gardening, watching the food network, cooking, playing with our dog, Hogan, and traveling with my husband.

I love teaching at Rose Union and look forward to another "Outstanding" year! Thank you for sharing your child with me.
