Shannon and Mary kick off the new season with reflections on how far the podcast has come, from family anecdotes to stories of former students thriving—like Rigby, a once-struggling reader now headed to college. They share practical tips for using Canva to teach morphology, highlight successes from summer tutoring, and chat about balancing work, rest, and family life. Plus, they reveal exciting plans for bringing more teacher voices into the show through their bonus episodes available to all subscribers.
