Karla Hendrix
I’ve been teaching for twenty-five years, and it still touches my heart to see when a light bulb comes on, and the child’s face lights up.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceAt least you didn’t ask for most embarrassing! My most memorable would also be my students most memorable when I bake chocolate cake/cupcakes and bring in Pepsi (The Greasers favorite snack) for the students to watch The Outsiders after we have completed the novel.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would totally revamp my classroom with making it more aesthetically appealing. I would purchase earbuds for each student. The headphones hurt their head. I would also purchase mice for study who need it for their Chromebooks. I would donate my old Chromebooks back to the Media Center and purchase new ones for my room. I would purchase an online app that would help both my ELA students and me. I would also purchase textbooks and workbooks for my students to check out for home usage.
