 Welcome to my world of tiny "creepy crawlies" and giant dinosaurs !
[ Visit Mrs. Weber's
Website ]
Every year I try to create a climate in my classroom that promotes an excitement for learning and has a sense of "family". We begin the year
"going buggy" by raising butterflies, ladybugs, and other insects. At the
end of our "dino"mite year, we'll study dinosaurs. I graduated from
Northern Illinois University and taught first and second grades in Illinois
before coming to Deer Creek in 1990. I am honored to have been a Deer Creek Elementary Teacher of the Year and Deer Creek District Teacher of the Year. As a Chartered Member of Prairie Vale Elementary, it was a privilege to be part of establishing our present elementary. In 1997, I was selected as one of 100 teachers from Oklahoma to work towards National Board Certification, the highest national standard in teaching. After a year of extensive assessments, 39 of us were notified as achieving National Board Certification, the first in Oklahoma. As an educator, I am charged with the awesome responsibility of teaching young minds—and I continue to be enriched by this experience.
In 1990, my husband, Jerry, and I moved to Oklahoma with our children, Nicole and Nathan. Jerry is in the insurance business and also teaches insurance classes. Nicole and Nathan are both Deer Creek graduates. Nicole has her Master's Degree in Psychology from UCO and works for the State Health Department. She has two children, Cassandra and Roy. Nathan has his Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from OSU and works for Chesapeake. He is married to Sarah, who is a graduate of OSU with a Master's Degree in business and works for Tinker. Nathan and Sarah have a son, Caleb, and a daughter, Brooklyn. When I'm not teaching, I love spending time with my family, including our dog, Frisky.
