Summary: Hello everyone!<br> I’ve been gone too long! I’ve missed you all. I really have.<br> But, to make up for it, we have an extra long episode today, where I have a conversation with my partner in crime, Mrs. Smithey!<br> As is common for the podcast, our episode took a life of its own once we got going, so the intro doesn’t exactly match what we ended up spending our time discussing. In this episode, we talk about how her past has made her the teacher she is today, and how that shapes everything she does in the classroom, from relationship building, to helping struggling readers gain confidence, and everything in between.<br> I hope you have as much fun with this episode as much as we did making it.<br> Enjoy!<br>
