Hi!  My name is Kristi DeShazo.  I am so excited to be a Schiff Shark and have your child in my second grade ELA/SS class this year.  This is my fourth year teaching at Jan Schiff Elementary.  I have also taught kindergarten, third grade and fourth grade.  We moved to Sienna from Austin, but I grew up in Houston and we are happy to be back close to all our family.  My husband and I have 4 kids that keep us extremely busy.  We have 2 boys in 9th grade and 7th grade, and 2 girls in 4th grade and 1st grade.  We also have a sweet dog, Lily, that is very active and snuggly.  I am looking forward to getting know you and your child as we work together to help him/her reach their fullest potential.  We are going to have a fantastic school year!
