Welcome to this special first ever limited-time series of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.  It’s Camp Creative this week, my favorite event of the year, and I wanted to make sure that no matter how busy you are, you can just pop in some earbuds and follow along. Starting tomorrow, we’re diving into podcasts in the classroom - the best shows for your students, what to have them do while they listen, and how to get your students creating their very own podcast episodes.  Each day this week I’ll be guiding you through the daily material here on the podcast and reminding you of the free curriculum downloads waiting for you on the camp website. If you’re NOT signed up for Camp Creative yet, it’s not too late to join us through the link in today’s show notes. Everything officially starts tomorrow, so you won’t miss a single thing!  Sign up for Camp Creative here: <a href= "https://sparkcreativity.kartra.com/page/camppodcasting2024">https://sparkcreativity.kartra.com/page/camppodcasting2024</a>

Now I'm here to make sure YOU get the creative support you deserve, and it brings me so much joy.
