Ms. Davis, who teaches in the Collaborative Team Teaching (CTT) classroom with Ms. Patterson, comes to P.S. 8 all the way from Charlotte, North Carolina, where she taught third grade and kindergarten. Yet her actual hometown is Clover, South Carolina, a place she describes as "a very small town. We had one stop light, one high school, and being the mayor was a part time job." Although she's a long way from home, and New York has been an adjustment, P.S. 8 finds her dedication to teaching well at home. "I absolutely love teaching kindergarten," she says. "When kids are excited about school and what they are learning, they will likely put forth their best effort and try something they normally might not." Like most devoted teachers, Ms. Davis acknowledges the rewards of teaching: "It is so wonderful when the children are reading and writing at the end of the year, and I really enjoy watching them grow." Ms. Davis lives in Dyker Heights and loves spending time with her pets, a cat and a Jack Russell terrier that she rescued from a shelter three years ago.
