Karen Piazza

I love the curiousity of young children, watching them problem solve and really “get it”. Teaching is my passion and a dream come true!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I knew teaching was where I belonged. Teaching young children how to learn through hands on experiences and laughter is what makes my heart full. I wanted to be the teacher that they love and remember.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment was when I had a selective mute girl and she whispered in my ear that she loved me. At that moment I knew that teaching is where I belong forever.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 on more hands on manipulatives for my students, bringing events to my school like zoologists and musicians; and new robotics/coding sets for preschoolers.
