Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceOne of my favorite moments as a teacher is when a child learns to read. I love seeing the excitement on their face when it finally “clicks” and they begin reading with less struggle. You can see the pride they feel in themselves. Children are naturally excited about learning, and I love being able to nurture that excitement and keep it alive.
