Welcome! I am Christy Davis and I will be your child's teacher this year. I have taught both 1st and 2nd grade but have to confess that 1st grade is by far my favorite! Although I enjoy all subject areas, reading is definitely my passion. I enjoy igniting a love for learning in my students! I graduated in 1996 from Florida State University with a degree in Elementary Education. Since I love learning and believe in professional development, I went back to college and earned my Master's in Reading and Language Arts from Florida State in 2005. In 2008, I became a National Board Certified Teacher. I have three children, Jenn (28), Clay (26) and Sean (24). Like most parents, I enjoy bragging on my children. Jenn works at FSU with autistic children. Clay manages Tarpon Dock Seafood and is married to Amanda Marwitz. They have a beautiful daughter named Elodie. Sean is a mechanical engineer and works at BCA Technology in Maitland, Fl. I also have two cats, Patches (a calico) and Blaire (a tuxedo), and two dogs, Harvey (a bassadore) and Bailey (a puggle). Your children will hear many funny stories about my wonderful family. I stay very busy after school. I enjoy running and working out. I like to kayak. I also go fishing whenever my dad can go with me.
