Learn MoreI became a teacher because I genuinely love working with children. I love the cute "Aha!" moments, but also the loud and messy moments. I had a few teachers growing up that really inspired me and made me feel seen. I want to be that for my students.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceWhen I taught 3rd grade, I was trying to find a different way to teach multiplication. I got very creative, and with the help of social media, was able to create songs that had the different multiples. The students loved it!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would give some of it to my school/classroom. I would also use some of it to travel the world. I also have a house that I'm still paying off, but that's not as fun as the other 2!
