Welcome to Room 306.  My name is Ms. D'Avanzo (though many former students know me as Ms. Costa), and I am so excited to be your teacher!  We are going to do so many fun things, and of course we will learn A LOT.  Are you as excited as I am?  

I have been at PES since 2012, when I student-taught in first grade. I loved it so much here, I decided to stay. I have taught third grade and first grade, but kindergarten is where my heart is.  I received my B.S. in Childhood Studies from Plymouth State University in 2012.  I am certified K-8 general education and K-12 general special education.  I also have an M.S. in Instruction and Leadership and an M.Ed in Early Childhood Education.
