Wait, what, the year is over already??!! In the blink of an eye, Sadie has finished 3rd grade and is on to 4th. 

We welcome Sadie's best bud Camila to the pod for a year in review where we cover lots of ground. We were extremely busy this Spring causing us to take a slight hiatus from the pod, so this one definitely packs the content in. Thanks for joining us this year!

Thanks for listening!

Sadie isn't feeling her best, but she musters enough energy to sit down for a pod to chat on a wide range of 3rd grade happenings. We reflect on a great trip to Florida where Sadie got to miss three days of school, a fun celebration of Black History Month and her embodiment of Bessie Coleman, and the kickoff of the spring baseball season (wish dad good luck in his head coaching debut!)

Thanks for listening!

We've been busy so it's been a couple weeks since we last published a pod, so this one covers lots of ground. We've got a recap of the epic Valentine's Day dance, a strong report card for term 2, the start of play rehearsals for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, a girl scout excursion to Northern Virginia, and an exciting cherry on top. 

Thanks for listening!

We haven't checked in a couple of weeks but we're back with some fun updates as Sadie prepares for a lead in the school play, we have a house full of girl scout cookies, there are some new prizes up grabs at school and we talk golden retrievers vs. labs. Thanks as always for supporting the podcast!

Thanks for listening!

We sat down for a pod recording during a very unusual week in D.C. where we experienced 2 snow storms! It was a short school week for Sadie because of snow days, but we still had a lot to discuss. Exciting stuff happening with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory auditions, a new i-Ready Challenge, an upcoming Valentine's Day dance and much more. Enjoy!

As promised in the pod, here's a link to Sadie's cookie site if you'd like to support her troop. 

Thanks for listening!

Sadie's back from break and ready to rock the new year (we think). We recap her holiday break and her first week back to school, and we catch the sillies a little bit making a formal plea for a longer holiday break and practicing our falsetto in preparation for the school musical. 

Thanks for listening!

School is over for 2023 and Sadie had a fun and celebratory last week at John Lewis Elementary. She's also looking forward to a relaxing break highlighted by Christmas and a trip to Florida. Happy holidays to everyone listening!

Thanks for listening!

It was a fun week at JLES as Nutmeg, her classroom's Elf of the Shelf made his first appearance, she wins a school challenge unlocking a free movie and snacks with a few friends, and she dances the night away at her cluster's showcase. Check it out!

Thanks for listening!

Sadie welcomed Assistant Principal Bryant to the pod, and he treated us to a fantastic 20 minutes of conversation. We really appreciated how candid and transparent he was with his answers. This is a great episode for parents at John Lewis to learn more about how upper administration thinks and operates and how they are planning for the future.  

Thanks for listening!

We're back after a small hiatus with an episode that features a little bit of everything, both positive, and negative. Sadie had a fun, but challenging several days which you'll hear her explain in depth. Enjoy the light, and the dark.

Thanks for listening!
