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!

Important Daily Reminders:

*Remember that your child may bring a healthy snack each day and is encouraged to bring a reusable spill-proof water bottle daily.

*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!
