Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWe had class pets last year! Five earthworms that my class absolutely fell in love with! They fed them, collected their droppings for the school garden, kept their enclosure moist and would hold them. Worms have never been my favorite, but making them part of our classroom family was absolutely fantastic and a new way to experience a pet
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use it to provide a more interactive classroom environment, specifically alternative seating to accommodate for my more active students. I am also the assistant den leader for the wolf scouts of our local pack and would love to use the funds to take my scouts on more adventures
