Fifth Grade Teachers

My name is Denisecia Talabi. I'm a wife to my husband Tola of 2 years, a mother of a soon to be 8 year old named Landyn and an educator for 7+ years at Daniel Webster. I was blessed with a passion to teach! As a young child I didn’t understand math and did enough to barely get by. I only remembered the educators that made school fun. Mr. Conde was so animated and he called us by our middle names. I want to give my students what he gave me as a student. A fun, engaged, and unique class setting where you feel free to be you and don’t worry about being judged by others. I want my students to leave me every year wanting to be challenged and to grow a love for Math and Science!

Born in Mesquite, TX and now living in Dallas, I am a graduate of Texas Tech University and proud husband and father of two wonderful children.

I started my career at Mark Twain Law Vanguard, I was there for nine years. Then, I taught at Robert L. Thornton for the next nine years. I am now a proud Wildcat at Daniel Webster.
