Hello, my name is Erin Davis. I have been teaching for 8 years and this is 3rd year teaching in Des Moines. I grew up in northwest Iowa and graduated from Iowa State University with endorsements in reading and math in 2015. I have taught 2nd and 4th grade in the past and am excited to be teaching 5th grade. In the classroom I think it is crucial that students and teachers are able to work together to build a community where everyone will succeed!
This is my 11th year teaching, and my 6th at Lovejoy. I graduated from Drake University in 2003 with a Journalism degree then went back to become a teacher. I received my Masters in Teaching from Drake University in 2011. After spending several years subbing in Des Moines, I started at Brubaker Elementary in 2013. In the last eleven years I have taught grades 1st, 2nd, 4th, and will be starting my first year in 5th this year. When I’m not at school I enjoy reading, running and spending time outdoors with my husband and three children. I look forward to watching my students grow into strong, caring, leaders and learners every year.
