Deanna Porricelli
3rd Grade Team
Hello, Wildcats!
Welcome to 3rd Grade!
My name is Deanna Porricelli and I am thrilled to be teaching 3rd grade again this year! I grew up in a small town in the mountains of Virginia, but moved to Lakeland to attend Southeastern University. I graduated from SEU and received my Bachelors degree in 2001. I am certified to teach Elementary grades K-6 and have both ESOL and Reading Endorsements. This is my 6th year teaching 3rd grade here at MAC and in total, I have worked in the school system for over 16 years! I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th grades and have been an ESE teacher and LEA Facilitator! Teaching is my passion and I truly love this calling! There is no greater moment than when I see the joy on a student's face when they accomplish their goals! I am looking forward to another incredible school year! I can't wait to meet you!

*Our classroom can sometimes get pretty cold, so your child may choose to bring a small blanket to keep in our room. You may want to send them with a jacket/hoodie (MAC or solid navy) each day as well.
*Please make sure you have labeled your child's name on all of their personal items including backpacks, jackets, blankets, water bottles and lunch boxes.
*Don't forget to have your child read at least 20 minutes every day!
