Learn MoreI became a teacher because of all the opportunities. Everyday is a day to make a difference and learn something new. Each day is unique, whether that is the content I am teaching or the relationships I am building. I had so many amazing teachers that inspired me to become a teacher myself, and think of them fondly everyday.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience would be an experiment we did during the winter time using borax to make crystallized ornaments. The lesson went great and the students loved seeing the quick turnaround of the crystals and taking them home over the break to show their families and teach them about crystallization. One of my students gave me one of theirs, and I can’t wait to hang it in my house for years to come.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I were to receive the $25,000, I would reinvest a portion of the money into my children’s future education by putting it into a savings account. I would use the remaining portion in my own classroom to help fund any experiments or trips that I feel would be beneficial to their education, especially within science.
