Today we will pivot from sports to reading, possibly the most important skill to being successful in the classroom and outside of it. First we will talk to Alexandra Cummings, who will give us our first book review, and Vivian Chen a teacher of 20+ years and literacy coach.

Today is part 2 of a passion for sports. With almost all the sports shutdown I'm continuing to obsess over ESPN's "The Last Dance." Today I continue to focus on what athletics can afford young adults as they move through school and life. We discuss this topic with Zoey M. and Coach Velasco as well as bringing an old friend on the podcast, Max. He talks about the impact sports had throughout his life.

I love sports and everything that it can offer my students. Recently, ESPN kicked off a 10 part sports documentary series called "The Last Dance" that centers around the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls' trials, tribulations and eventual triumph. The experiences with teammates and coaches impacted Jordan even during his last championship, so let's talk sports. In today's episode I will speak with Tory a local CIF winning soccer coach who has devoted her life to sports as well as two soccer players from the Clifton Middle School team.

I’m Nick, an educator that is constantly asking myself and annoying many around me with the question, “Why can’t it be fun?” Today we will talk to Sophia about her art and how she finds motivation as well as Principal Jennifer Jackson about her interesting background before getting into education.

In this podcast I will connect with students and see how they are keeping it fun while at home as well as keeping up with school work. I will also host my first colleague! Mrs. Ayala will join us at the end of the podcast to talk about how her unique background before teaching has lead to her unique classroom culture.
This is an unprecedented time for educators, students, and parents, but I am asking “Can reaching out to students be fun?” Our first episode will focus on working at home.
