Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always had a love of learning. My third grade teacher Mrs. Rose helped cultivate that love and I always wanted to be like her.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

While teaching phonics, a few students who really struggled in phonics. After intense small group practice, they were able to show growth and now thrive in phonics!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would redo my class library. I would be able to make sure I had classics along with books that my students love to read.
