Hello and Welcome!

My name is Deanna Johnson and I am so excited to be your child's teacher! I am West Islip Alumni and graduated 21 years ago in 2003.  I have been a Special Education Teacher for over 12 years. I absolutely love teaching and guiding students.  I also love how my students teach me as well!    I cannot wait to continue to enhance your child's education and build on what they already know.  It is going to be a wonderful year together. Please refer back to this website for any helpful information throughout the year.  I am looking forward to  a wonderful and successful year!

Here are some fun facts about myself: 

1. I have 3 sons  - Colin is my 15 year old step-son, Nolan is my 8 year old and Landon is my 5 year old.

2. My favorite season is fall! I love the pretty colors, the scent of cinnamon, the touch of a cool breeze and apples!

3. I have one pet, we rescued her from Ohio - Her name is Charley. 

4. My favorite color is blue. 

5. My favorite candy is a Kit Kat Bar or Twizzlers - depends on the day!

7. String beans are my favorite vegetable.

9. I love spending time with my family and singing as much as possible!

10. I love sports: watching & playing them! **BONUS** Did you know I played boys lacrosse before they had girls lacrosse?  I was long stick defense! And yes I wore all the heavy protective gear.  

11. My teams I support mostly are:  NY GIANTS AND NY YANKEES! But I would support the Mets and Jets always! Even the Bills!
