Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience is when a 1st grade newcomer student became a fluent reader and writer in just one year!!!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would take a great vacation with my family and purchase physical education equipment and resources for my students! I would also give them a great gift before they move on to 3rd grade! With this economy it’s very difficult to purchase items and resources for my classroom.
