Shannyn Ferguson

I love helping others and I love when you see the glow on a child’s face when they learn something new! I do it for the “aha” moment.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to be able to make a difference, to help others and to be able to give back to the community. I want to be able to help parents understand and be able to work with their children with specials needs.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have so many memorable experiences working with special needs students from the first time a child met an IEP goal to the first time a child said a word or the first time a student with autism indicated her nose hurt when she was sick. Teaching a student to communicate is the most memorable thing!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am not sure what I would do with all of it but for sure I would give my class a pizza party since they talk about pizza so much! We also have a few centers that need updates, like our kitchen center. Since Pre-K students learn through play I want to have the best centers for them to play and learn.
