My name is Jill
Davis. I am an early childhood teacher at Kendall-Whittier Elementary in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am interested in creating developmentally appropriate
practices in my Kindergarten classroom. 2006-2007 will be my 8th year of
teaching. I completed my National Board Certification in 2005. I present
at local, state, and national workshops. I am a contributing writer for
The Education Center, publishers of The Mailbox Magazine. I am also an

An Interview with
Mrs. Davis

Where do you live? |
Most of the time it feels like I live at
school! I live in Sand Springs with my husband, Joe, and son, Alden.
Alden is in the 5th grade. |
|
Do you have any pets? |
I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. Casey is very
old and blind. Patty hogs the covers. Hestia (the cat) likes to
chase Patty around the house. I also have a red eared slider
(turtle) at school. |
|
What is your favorite grade? |
I love Kindergarten because I can see how
the kids progress in one year! |
|
What is your favorite book? |
Chicka chicka boom boom is my
favorite picture book. The Ramona series by Beverly Cleary is my

As every one of my Kindergarten friends
can tell you, my favorite color is purple! |

What is your favorite restaurant? |
I like to eat at Zio's (Italian) and at
Panera Bread (bagels and sandwiches). I always order the same thing
each time I go! |

What is your favorite center? |
This one is tough. I have to pick the
reading center because there are so many great books. |
