What do you love most about teaching?
I love the look of pride on my students' faces when they learn a new skill or complete something independently for the first time. I also love seeing the progress my students make throughout the year.
What is the best way to describe your classroom on a typical day?
Organized chaos - There's always a lot going on in a room with 20 4-5 year olds, but there are routines and procedures in place to keep everything moving smoothly throughout the day.
