A kindergarten teacher in Minnesota is helping her students learn online while also battling a recurrence of ovarian cancer.
Kelly Klein spends time with her students in their virtual classroom every day, even during her chemotherapy treatments. She also declined to take time off for the treatments, according to CBS News.
“I was first diagnosed five years ago, and I did take leave then because I was really sick,” Klein told the outlet. “I missed teaching so much.”
Her class watches as she goes through her treatments, and the dedicated educator said, “What better way to spend four or five hours than with 5-year-olds. It makes the time pass quickly. It makes me smile.”
