Ep. 13 First Year Flops
With a new year here, we figured we would talk about our first year as teachers. What we did wrong, why we think it went so poorly, and commiserating in our trauma. First year teachers have it rough. If you know a teacher about to start their first year, buy them some treats to keep in their desk, and some extra whiteboard markers.  *Apologies about the choppy audio*

Ep. 10 Teacher Summer Edition
What do teachers even do over the summer? Netflix? Absolutely. Sleep? All the time. Get paid? Definitely not.  We wanted to talk about what teachers really do over the Summer, because it's not all TV and junk food. We also talk about why breaks are crucial for not just teachers but students as well. So, join us for a slow paced episode all about Summer!

Ep. 8 Debatable Teacher Strategies
Back into the groove of teaching, we are talking about our favorite teacher strategies. These are some of the strategies that we use that are absolutely debatable, but we have found success in. If you're unsure about the way you run your classroom, give this a listen and hopefully you will feel more validated to be who you are in your room. Every teacher is different, so every classroom is different.

Ep. 5 TikTok and a Book Review
Today we talk about two very different yet equally wonderful things. TikTok and books!  Brenna scratches the surface on why she loves(addicted) TikTok, and why it's such a great platform for teachers.  Aubrie then shares a book she has started teaching and why she loves it!  This episode is a little chaotic, but it's the end of May. Can you blame us?
