Hello! My name is Deondria Johnson. I was born and raised in Dothan, AL. I am super excited to be apart of the Phenix City School system for my very first year of teaching! Yes….that is correct, I am a first year teacher and I am so delighted to be teaching 1st grade! :)
I graduated from Troy University in December of 2016 with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I graduated with honors as magna cum laude. As I stated, this is my first year teaching and I'm excited to begin this lifelong journey of being an educator and I am so blessed to be apart of the Lakewood Primary team. :) I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I like to travel and try new things and I love amusement parks and Netflix :)
Becoming an educator has been a dream of mines and I know that I was put here on this Earth to be an educator. Kids have always be a constant joy to me and I couldn't think of anything that I'd rather do than teach. I believe learning should be fun, yet challenging and engaging, yet give students the opportunity to explore. I want to help all my students grow and learn and create those moments that will always inspire them to continue growing their knowledge. The passion, dedication, the young beautiful faces and the constant love is only a few things that I enjoy as being an educator. I know that my first year will be very promising, yet also a challenge but I will strive to be the very best educator that I can be!
Just for fun... here's a list of my favorite things:
Favorite color: purple
Favorite candy: Starburst
Favorite drink: sweet tea
Favorite restaurant: Cheddars
Favorite movie: Selena
Favorite TV shows: Once Upon A Time, Scandal, iZombie, How To Get Away With Murder
Favorite places to shop: Forever 21, TJ Maxx, Burlington, Target, Hobby Lobby
