Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have had a lot of memorable teaching moments over the years, but I believe teaching at Rothenberg Academy has been my most memorable experience. It has been an honor to watch my Kindergarten students grow each year as they move through the grades. I started at Rothenberg 7 years ago and I will get to see the Kindergarteners I had my first year graduate as 6th graders this year. Most of that group stops in everyday to say hi and it has been that way for all 7 years! I'm the luckiest teacher!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would definitely use a good portion of the $25,000 on the students at school! We have so much fun using our imaginations during the day so I would buy supplies to help us extend that learning. I might also use some of it for self care so I can be the best version of myself for my students!
