Tell us why you became a teacher

I love kids! I am good capturing their attention and they really enjoy my class and my teaching. It's fun seeing students learn things! Their vivaciousness is so uplifting!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

After I taught my 6 graders.Good listening skills a student had taken that knowledge home and made her parents and siblings abide by the listening by looking at each other in the eye. At the end of the year , mom wrote a note to me telling me that I had saved their marriage because they started to really listen to each other and reconnected.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would bring a fresh flair to my class library. We could have book clubs with the purchase of the newest novels for kids. Every child could have workbooks they need and Kindles!!
