Zoey Marie: What advice would you give someone who wants to be a teacher?

Zoey Marie: If you weren’t a teacher, what would you be?
Mrs. Chaney: Ooh that's a hard one...
I would probably be a baker because I love to bake.

Zoey Marie: What are some things you do outside of school?
Mrs. Chaney: I love to read. I have three boys, so I love to run around and play with them outside.

Zoey Marie: How has your job changed?
Mrs. Chaney: The grade levels I had to teach. Originally I taught 4th and 5th grade. Then, I went to Hampton and I started teaching pre-k. Now, I am a special educator.

Silas P. : Do you prefer in person or virtual class
Mrs. Chaney: 100% more in person. Way more fun.

Mrs. Chaney: I have always. When I was little, I was a lifeguard and I taught swimming and I loved it.

Silas P. : Are there any pros to virtual learning?
