Hello Students and Parents!

   My name is Brittany Griffith and I will be your Dance and/or GT ELAR (English Language Arts and Reading) teacher this year. This will be my 7th year in education and I am SO ready for another magical year!

  GT ELAR is a 45-minute class period in which students will learn how to use their analyzation and inquiry skills to problem solve and engage in real world scenarios. The benefit of this is that I get to know you/your student as a reader AND a writer as we progress in both areas, and I will be better prepared to help you meet your goals. 

  Dance is a 45-minute class period in which students will learn the principles of kinesthetic awareness, movement, choreography and history of dance. This year, dance is available to 7th and 8th grade students, and can be used to satisfy one semester of the overall PE requirement.

  Additionally, I am one of the Harris 504 coordinators and have the privilege of working to support our students with dyslexia. 

   I am also a proud product of NEISD schools, having attended Redland Oaks and Driscoll before graduating from MacArthur High School. For college, I attended the University of North Texas and obtained a Bachelor's degree in English Literature before pursuing my teaching certification as a Generalist grades 4-8. I also hold a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a triple literacy focus from The University of Texas Arlington, and obtained additional teaching certifications as a Reading Specialist, ESL instructor, Dance(Fine Arts) and Physical Education. 
   
   I am excited to go on this journey together and very much look forward to working as a team to make magic happen! If you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. My email is bgriff3@neisd.net and my direct line at school is 210-356-4166.

  Thank you for visiting my page, I very much look forward to learning and growing together this year!

Sincerely, 
Brittany Griffith
