Reagan Hamby

I can’t express how much I love my students. I love teaching because I love them- and I love watching their faces as they learn!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I love children, and I love watching them learn concepts and apply them. Seeing that “light bulb” moment is amazing! I love seeing their faces light up when they see me every morning.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my students was struggling with reading comprehension (2nd grade). I told her to take it one sentence at a time, pause, and think about what she just learned. The next day, her comprehension was much better. She told me it was because she thought about what I said and it helped her.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy a better car to have a safer trip to work.
