Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My principal was observing me and I was doing a lesson about how big the solar system is and how we can use fractions to explain it. For review I asked my kids why is Pluto not a planet? One of my boys immediately raised his hand and said,” because it shares an orbit with the Kiuper Belt!” I was so very proud at that moment!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would set up a sensory room that integrates our solar system in it.❤️
