Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

There are a lot, but I would say having a first grader throw up on you on day two of teaching as a substitute, leaving going home showering and coming back and everyone being so surprised that I came back.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy supplies for my classroom put some aside for my daughter and her continuing education when she gets older and maybe take a vacation.
