Teacher besties… I am recording this episode with teeth that feel like exposed electrical wiring, so if I sound unwell, it’s because I am unwell. I decided to get my teeth professionally whitened, and let’s just say the pain level was somewhere between “natural childbirth with a broken epidural” and “why did I do this to myself.”
But vanity drama aside, this week I’m talking about the real chaos. Second graders chanting suspicious initials, a recess mystery that may or may not have involved children unknowingly shouting a swear word, the ongoing saga of my unfortunate last name, and the moment my husband revealed he once ran a black-market lamination scheme to get into a basketball game.
Plus, I’m sharing why now is the perfect time to be your classroom’s Agent of Chaos, the website that gives you instant science/math magic for K-8, and the massive show update I’ve been waiting to announce.
Takeaways:
The cosmetic decision that almost made me collapse in the Lowe’s parking lot.
The recess chant that had teachers whispering, “Wait… what did they just say?”
Why my husband’s teenage criminal enterprise involved a stolen lamination machine.
How to inject the perfect amount of chaos into your classroom to survive winter.
The huge announcement about the future of the show (and the beloved guest joining me full-time).
