1-2 Mrs. Maureen Davis

Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had an exciting and restful summer.
 I am excited to begin my fourth year teaching first grade at St. Agnes. My love of reading and literature guided me on the path to becoming a teacher. I found such comfort in stories that I felt the calling to try  pass it on to others. 
  I received my BA in English from Oneonta State and continued my education at Fordham University to receive my Masters in Early Childhood Education, specializing in Literacy. My favorite place in over 12 years of teaching in both Catholic and public schools has been first grade. It is here I have been able to witness the most remarkable growth and development. I also get to enjoy the ear to ear toothless smiles of accomplishment and the "I did it" moments.
 I am truly blessed to be able to practice my faith and help my students learn to put God first on a daily basis. 
 When I am not challenging my students in the classroom, I can be found driving my three girls around  Long Island and the northeast area to their school, sport, and artistic functions- as my husband is driving in the opposite direction doing the same.
   In our free time we love to cook and watch cooking shows. We have each taken turns making meals knowing full well we can be chopped at any moment for being heavy handed on the seasonings. We are also learning to laugh at ourselves and not take ourselves too seriously! HARD lessons sometimes with teenagers in the house!!
We also love to read, surf, swim, play basketball and volleyball, try new things, and travel. 
   I look forward to working with you to help make it a happy and successful year for both you and your child. I hope you are ready to enjoy every moment of this awesome adventure!
It goes by way to quickly.
 God Bless all our families.
