Heidi: This is episode 264 of Teacher Approved.
You're listening to Teacher Approved, the podcast helping
educators elevate what matters and simplify the rest. I'm
Heidi.
Emily: And I'm Emily. We're the creators behind Second Story
Window, where we give research-based and
teacher-approved strategies that make teaching less stressful and
more effective. You can check out the show notes and resources
from each episode at secondstorywindow.net.
Heidi: We're so glad you're tuning in today. Let's get to
the show.
Emily: Hey there, thanks for joining us today. In today's
episode, we are talking all about summer reading. It's a fun
one, plus we've got a teacher-approved tip for turning
reading into a celebration.
Heidi: But first, let's start with a try it tomorrow, where we
share a quick win that you can try right away. Emily, what's
our suggestion for this week?
Emily: This week, if you haven't already, you should download the
Libby app. So, if you haven't heard of it, because you live
under a rock or something, well, Heidi only heard about it
recently, so.
Heidi: No, that's not true. I did know about it, I just didn't
have it.
Emily: That's true, that's true. Okay, well, Libby is a free app
that connects to your local library and lets you borrow
ebooks and audiobooks. So you sign in with your library card,
and you can browse the library's whole digital collection, and
check things out the same way that you would in person, except
it all happens on your phone.
Heidi: And it really is actually free. It's not one of those
things that you have to like put in your credit card to get a
trial of. The library pays for the licenses, so you're not
pirating anything. All of the authors are getting paid, you
just read the books, and you don't have to pay anything.
Emily: Yeah, you may have to wait a while to get the book you
want, that is the risk of that. So, my tip is to always have
your holds maxed out, however many holds your library has,
have that many waiting, so that you're more likely to always
have something to read, although it does tend to be that you get
three or four holds up at the exact same time.
Heidi: That's how it works all the time.
Emily: Yeah, well, you can read on your phone or your tablet
through the app, and you can listen to the audiobooks in the
app, and if you have a Kindle, you can send the ebook directly
to your Kindle to read it there, which is so nice. But yes, just
be aware about if it's a popular book, especially, it's going to
have a waitlist. But sometimes that also means they recently
bought more, or they're gonna buy more while you're on the
wait list, so sometimes you get off of it faster than you think.
Heidi: And if you don't have a library card, this is your sign,
and no judgment, because I just barely got my library card. And
so you can join me in starting with Libby this summer. I've
only had it a few weeks, and I've already read a ton more
than I usually do.
Emily: I know it's so nice when they're just there and they're
free.
Heidi: And every day you get like a little surprise, like,
"Oh, my hold came up."
Emily: Yes, such a treat. Yeah. Well, if you like this idea or
anything else we share here on the podcast, would you take a
second and give us a five-star rating? Ratings and reviews are
one way that new listeners find us, so every rating and review
really means a lot to us and is a huge help.
Heidi: Okay, we are going to try something a little bit different
today.
Emily: Yes, we are. So, since books are such a big part of
summer fun, at least for us, or for you if you're doing your
summer right, we are dedicating today's episode to reading, so
we're going to be sharing some of our recent faves and what's
on our summer to be read lists. And don't worry about writing
everything down, because we will have all the links in the show
notes.
Heidi: Plus we will be talking about a special book that we are
pretty excited about, but before we get to that, why don't you
kick things off with one of your book recommendations, Emily?
Emily: Okay, my first recommendation is my most
favorite book of the year so far, and that is One and Only by
Maurene Goo. I hope that's how you pronounce it. And it is
about a Korean American named Cassia Park, who lives in Los
Angeles, where she works for the family matchmaking business. So,
the secret to their success is that for centuries the women in
her family have been able to peer into the past lives of
their clients to find their fated true love, and Cassie has
known who her fated is for 10 years, but she hasn't met him
yet, and now she's almost 40, but she does meet a younger man
named Ellis, who is handsome and wonderful, but he's not her
fated. So I just got such a kick out of this book. It didn't go
the way I thought it was gonna go. It really surprised me how
Heidi: That is one of my favorites too. I have not seen
much I enjoyed it. And I do love a book with some magical realism.
this book anywhere. I'm gonna grab that.
Emily: You're missing out. It's good.
Heidi: I'll put it on as one of my Libby holds.
Emily: There you go. All right, what's your first
recommendation?
Heidi: Okay, my first recommendation is also a little
bit of magical realism, but historical romance. This is The
Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton, and
I read another of India Holton's, that, what is it, The
Ornithologist Field Guide to Love? She's got such a fun,
unique voice. It's very, very dry humor. Just picture like
uptight Victorian ladies who are, you know, the the prim and
proper auntie who's worried about her young niece catching
cold if she goes out without her shawl on, but they're, they're
also pirates. They're not at all concerned that she's covered in
gunpowder, and a grenade just came launching through the
window.
Emily: Oh, this sounds amazing.
Heidi: Prim and proper Society of Lady Pirates in Victorian
England, and they have houses that fly, so instead of ships,
they sail their houses around.
Emily: Obviously.
Heidi: It is just so crazy and so silly and so fun. If you like
historical fiction with a little bit of romance and just want to
have a fun time, this, this is the book.
Emily: Well, this is already on my TBR, so I'm glad to hear that
it's a good one.
Heidi: Yes, and I got it through Libby. Hey, look at that.
Emily: All right, I'll put it on my holds. I think I have one
open spot.
Heidi: That came up pretty quick. I only barely put it on
the other day, and I already got it. It came up really fast. So,
yeah, okay. Emily, give us another one.
Emily: Well, I'm going to share a teaching book recommendation.
If you want a teaching book to inspire you this summer, and
that is The Joyful Classroom by Lynn Bechtel and Kristen
Vincent. So this is a great read for inspiration and guidance on
how to make your class more joyful, so that your students
are more engaged and challenged. And this is important because
the research supports that students learn more when they're
engaged, and when students are engaged, your job is much more
fun. And we feel really strongly about that, which ties into the
special book we'll be sharing later. But Joyful Classroom was
also worth a read.
Heidi: Yeah, I really like that one, and I appreciated that it
wasn't very dense, so it was very clear, practical takeaways,
lots that you could take from it, but it didn't feel like a
slog to get through. It wasn't super heavy and like research
language that was hard to navigate. It was just, it was
written to help teachers, and that was very clear. And I think
so often we underestimate how important it is to enjoy your
job.
Emily: Yeah.
Heidi: But it is important to enjoy your job.
Emily: I think that's a big key with teacher burnout is that if
you don't even like it, you're going to get burned out so much
faster, because there's already a million things to help burn
you out as a teacher. So, at least if you could have the
teaching part be something you enjoy, that's the goal.
Heidi: Yes, absolutely.
Emily: Well, did you have a teaching book you want to share?
Heidi: Yes. So, the one I am recommending is called Classroom
Engagement: The Unwritten Code by Jen Foster. And again, I like
this for the same reason I like The Joyful Classroom, is that
it's just full of really practical takeaways that are
easy to consume. If you're reading a professional
development book on your personal time, you don't want to
have to wade through all of the research summaries to get to the
good stuff.
Emily: Yeah.
Heidi: You just want, what do I need to know for tomorrow, or
for back to school to make this year easier. And this book is
laid out really clearly. It's very easy to navigate. The
content is broken down in a way that makes sense, so it's,
highly recommend that one if you want teacher development,
classroom management, but not any of the stress.
Emily: That sounds like a great read. I'll add that to my list
too.
Heidi: Okay. Emily, what is your third recommendation for us?
Emily: Okay, I actually had a hard time narrowing it down to
only three. This was hard, but based on what I was most blown
away by this year, my third recommendation is Lady Tremaine
by Rachel Hochhauser, and this is a Cinderella retelling, which
I do like a fairy tale retelling, but I also think
they're hard to do well. So I was kind of not sure that this
was gonna work, and this is told from the eyes of the evil
stepmother in Cinderella, and I feel like I should say that evil
is in quotation marks. And I really was worried this is going
to be predictable, because you know the Cinderella story, but
that wasn't true at all, and it wasn't completely faithful to,
like, the Disney version of Cinderella. There was a lot
more, you know, ability to change the story a little bit.
And I feel like it just tells a really interesting tale of the
lengths a mother will go to for her children and also how
powerful a strong ambitious woman can be, so, and this book
is a debut novel from this author, which is pretty
incredible, because it's an amazing book and it's getting
really good reviews.
Heidi: Well, that's interesting. I love a good retelling.
Emily: Yeah, you'll have to read it. It's good.
Heidi: Okay, I'm kind of picturing Lady Featherington
from Bridgerton.
Emily: Yes, yes, in some ways yes, but I would say a little
more willing to get her hands dirty, that maybe.
Heidi: Oh, okay.
Emily: She, you know, Mrs. Featherington is not so much.
Lady Featherington, not Mrs. She's a lady, right? Isn't she a
lady?
Heidi: Yeah.
Emily: All right. What's your third recommendation?
Heidi: This has to come with a caveat that I don't know how it
ends. I was listening to this on Spotify, and Spotify only gives
you so many hours a month.
Emily: Oh, yes.
Heidi: So I'm not to the end yet, but so far I really enjoy
this.
Emily: Well I've read to the end, so I can say that the
ending is good.
Heidi: Okay, phew. Emily can vouch for this. This is called
How to Write a Love Story. It is by Catherine Walsh, and the only
other books I've read by Catherine Walsh have been
Christmas ones, and I've loved her Christmas books. They take
place in Ireland, and they're, you know, just full of heart,
nothing too racy or scandalous.
Emily: Yes, you'll get the swears, but.
Heidi: Yes, Irish are sweary. Yeah, nothing too heartbreaking
happens, but it's also not mind-numbingly boring, like this
happens, but you're not, you know, in agony over it. So, this
is the story of a young woman whose father wrote a famous
fantasy novel series, and he died before the final book could
be published, and so the publisher wants her to write
this final book, and she is really struggling. I cannot
blame her, that would be an impossible task. And so the
publisher sends over an editor to help her, and wouldn't you
know he's young and handsome and full of ideas. Hijinks may
ensue.
Emily: Yes, and it's got that small town feel of this cute
little town in Ireland, and the people in it, like, it's a good
one. I really liked, I just love Catherine Walsh. All the books
I've read from her, I really like.
Heidi: Just so fun.
Emily: Okay, so we still have our TBRs to share, but hopefully
we have given you some good ideas for titles to add to your
TBR list, but of course we have to mention our very top
recommendation, which is Structure and Spark, a flexible
framework to manage every classroom curveball, which we
wrote, so we may be biased.
Heidi: Yeah, we wrote a book, I still can't believe it, and it
comes out August 18. We're so excited, so excited. We've been
working on this since November of 2024, so it's been a long
time.
Emily: Yeah.
Heidi: And the book walks you step by step through the seasons
of the school year with specific examples of ways to adjust your
management to meet the particular needs of that season.
Emily: And by season we do not mean winter, spring, summer, and
fall. We mean the specific seasons that we have identified
that the teacher experiences throughout the school year. And
once you're aware of them, you can be prepared for them, so you
won't be caught off guard again by the spring fever chattiness.
You'll know it's coming, and you'll have a plan for exactly
how to address it, so you can pre-order the book now and be
ready to go this school year.
Heidi: And we know that every author says this, but pre-orders
really, really do matter. The publisher is already tracking
totals, so we would love to get that number as high as possible.
Emily: Yes, we are so grateful to any of you who pre-order, and
as a thank you for anyone who does, we've got some bonuses for
you. So, let's tell you about the bonuses. So, the first one
is our Spark Vault, and this is a collection of small ways that
you can add Spark to your day when you need a little energy to
add to your lesson, or something to get your students engaged
again. We've got the vault of ideas that you can just quickly
grab something that will help you when your Tuesday afternoon
is dragging.
Heidi: And then, you know, because we love a podcast around
here, we are creating a special private podcast companion
listening series, so we will walk you through the book season
by season, and give you lots of extra support and ideas to go
along with that season, and ways you can implement those ideas in
your classroom. And you know the bonus of a podcast is you can
just listen wherever you happen to be in the summer, so you
don't have to make time to sit down and really pay attention,
because we're going to go along with you.
Emily: Yes, and our third bonus is the Structure and Spark
Coach. So, if you like using AI, we have a custom AI tool that is
trained on our framework. So, when your class is bouncing off
the walls and you can't tell whether this is a structure
problem or a Spark problem, you can describe what's happening,
and the coach will help you sort it out and point you to some
ideas of what to try, so it's kind of like a diagnostic
version of what you'll learn in the book, so it's good to have
both. They will work well together.
And then the final bonus is time in the Teacher Approved Club,
where we use this structure and Spark framework every month, and
the earlier you pre-order, the longer you get for free in the
club. So, if you pre-order by June 15, which is today, you
will get three months free in the club. If you preorder by
July 15, you get two months free, and if you pre-order by
August 17, which is the day before our book comes out, you
get one month free in the Teacher Approved Club.
Heidi: You can check out the link in the show notes, or visit
secondstorywindow.net/book to find all of the details and all
of the ways to order your copy.
Emily: Okay, now let's get to our TBRs. Heidi, what's one of
the books on your TBR?
Heidi: Okay, well, since we're talking teaching, one of the
books I want to read this summer is called The Together Teacher
by Maya Hake Merlin, and I did start this last summer, but you
know, life got busy and I put it away, and but I really want to
get back to it, because the ideas are so good. So it's all
about how to organize your teaching life, but the ideas are
so valuable that I, even though I'm not in the classroom right
now, there were very actionable takeaways that I need in my own
life.
Emily: Oh.
Heidi: You start by kind of looking at your, what your
ideal, realistically ideal week would look like, and then what
systems have to be in place to make that happen. And then
figuring out how to put break those systems down into the
parts that they need, and then how to put those into action in
your life. So, it's really, I love that it works big picture
down to like granular detail, and then it walks you step by
step through how all of these pieces work together. If you are
in the classroom, I think this could be such a valuable
resource, and even if you're not, like I said, there's tons
of good time management, material management, life
management tips in there that I found really helpful. So I'm
excited to get back to that. I just pulled it out today. All my
post-it notes are sticking out of it, ready to dive in.
Emily: Well, that sounds like an excellent read.
Heidi: Yes, highly recommend. Okay, Emily, what is top on your
TBR list?
Emily: Well, for a teaching book, I have Do I Have Your
Attention: Understanding Memory Constraints and Maximizing
Learning by Blake Harvard. So, I just really love learning about
the science of learning and the way your brain works to handle
information and your memory. I just find that so fascinating,
and I think it's really important for us as teachers to
understand, so we can tailor our teaching to those findings, and
I just think this sounds like a really promising read.
Heidi: Yeah, that does sound interesting. I'll have to check
that out.
Emily: Yeah, what's next on your TBR?
Heidi: Okay, so next up is the book, The Smallest of Joys by
Diane Shiffer, and if you're like me, maybe you already
followed Diane on Instagram or TikTok. Her name on there is
ShifferDiane, I think it's her username. And if you haven't met
Diane, you are in for a treat. She is the loveliest woman in
the whole wide world. She calls herself like a vintage Nana. She
says her style guru is Aunt Bea from the Andy Griffith show.
Emily: You know what, that tracks.
Heidi: She loves wearing, you know, vintage dresses from the
30s and 40s, and her home is, you know, decorating these
lovely vintage linens, and she just, it's just sunshine and
sunlight and warmth and a big hug on your screen. And this is
her new book that came out. I actually pre-ordered it, but I
haven't had a chance to listen yet. And, of course, I had to
get the audio book, because I want to hear her read it to me,
because her laugh is just like a warm cup of a hug, like you're
drinking a hug. It's so darling. So, I had to get the audio book.
I thought the book was going to be like a memoir, but it's
actually just short essays about her thoughts on life, and she
kind of moves through the year about, you know, lessons from
winter and lessons from spring. And so I'm really excited to
dive into that, because she is such a lovely person. So, and
getting to spend time with her sounds like a treat.
Emily: Well, I will definitely be anxious to hear what you
think about. I'm sure you'll love it, because she is a treat.
I would love to check that one out.
Heidi: Definitely. Okay, Emily, what is next on your TBR?
Emily: I've got Dolly All the Time by Annabelle Monahan. So, I
have loved all of Annabelle's other books, and this one is
getting excellent reviews. Everyone I've heard from has
raved about it, and I don't know a ton about the story, but I do
believe it's a fake dating story, which I'm not gonna lie,
that's my favorite trope. But it's hard to do well.
Heidi: Yes, it's adjacent to, like, marriage of convenience,
but it makes more sense in the modern world. I haven't read any
Annabelle Monahan, she has really bright covers, right?
Emily: Yes. Oh, you've got to, they're good.
Heidi: Yeah. Okay. Well, now I've got Libby. I have so many
more options.
Emily: All right. What's your last book on your TBR?
Heidi: Okay. Well, this is another magical realism one.
This is The Someday Garden by Ashley Poston. So, the premise
is the new head gardener, a young woman moves to this
enchanting Lily Moore house to take care of this old home, and
she stumbles upon a secret garden that has a door that,
like, vanishes and reappears, but never in the same place
twice, and when she goes through it, she finds this secret garden
that happens to have a mystery man trapped inside of it.
Emily: As we all do.
Heidi: So I loved The Seven Year Slip from her.
Emily: Yes.
Heidi: And last year, what was the one we read last year?
Emily: I can't remember what it was called. It was like she kind
of gets stuck in a town from a book she's read, so like a
fictional town, right? Isn't that the premise?
Heidi: No, it was the song. She could, she and her like rival
songwriter guy could hear the same song, like could hear each
other's thoughts.
Emily: Yes.
Heidi: I think it started, they could hear the same song, and
then they could start hearing each other's thoughts as they
collaborate to write this song.
Emily: Well, the book town one is another one by her. I know
that's one of her books, and all her books have magical realism
in them.
Heidi: Yeah, so the one with the song was Sounds Like Love, and
the trapped in the fictional romance town was A Novel Love
Story.
Emily: Yes, yes, yes.
Heidi: And I bought The Dead Romantics, but I haven't read
that one yet. I'm saving that. That felt like a fall read.
Emily: Yeah, that's one I haven't read yet either. But I
have liked her other ones. They're fun.
Heidi: Yeah, I like magical realism because it's a way to up
the stakes without having to necessarily up the trauma.
Emily: Yes, and there's usually less world building than a true
fantasy book.
Heidi: Yes, also that. If you're listening to this episode the
day it comes out, this book comes out tomorrow. So I'm very
excited, I got it pre-ordered, so I'm ready to go.
Emily: Fun.
Heidi: Okay, Emily, what is your last recommendation for us?
Emily: Okay, my last one is another one that I've been
seeing get tons of good reviews, and that is This Book Made Me
Think of You by Libby Page. It makes me wonder if that is a pen
name.
Heidi: Yeah, it might be.
Emily: So, this one's about Tilly Nightingale, who finds out
there's a birthday gift waiting for her at her local bookstore
from her husband, which is surprising, because he died four
months ago. But he had left her 12 books, one for each month, to
help her in the first year without him. So she sets off on
a year of bookish adventures, and she's vlogging it as she
goes. It has lots of good reviews, and it sounds really
sweet, so I'm excited to listen to that.
Heidi: That sounds like a good one, and hopefully you've gotten
lots of new books to add to your TBR, and we would love to hear
what you're reading this summer, so you can come join the
conversation in our Teacher Approve Facebook group.
Emily: Now for our Teacher Approved Tip of the Week, where
we share an actionable tip to help you elevate what matters,
and simplify the rest. This week's teacher-approved tip is
plan a summer reading celebration. What do you got,
Heidi?
Heidi: Well, the idea for this comes from one of our favorite
Christmas traditions, which is the Jolabokaflod, and that is
the Icelandic tradition of exchanging books on Christmas
Eve, and then spending the night reading and eating chocolate.
Really, it is a highlight for us, and we've adapted it to
where we usually do it on December 23 because 24th is
crazy for us. But we eat lunch, and then we just spend the
afternoon reading for as long as the kids will stay focused.
Emily: Which last year was pretty long.
Heidi: Yeah, they, they're getting bigger.
Emily: They're getting bigger, they liked their new books.
Heidi: Yeah, that helps, but I think this idea could adapt
really well to summer. Maybe you let everyone pick out a new book
at the library or the bookstore, and you grab some snacks, and
then you can just go home, and everyone enjoys a relaxing
afternoon or evening of reading in the air conditioning. It's
too hot to be outside.
Emily: Yeah, so when it's too hot, then you can make being
inside extra special. It's an event. And guess what? National
Book Lovers Day is august 9, so that would be the perfect day to
do this.
Heidi: There you go, it's all set up.
All right, to wrap up the show, we're sharing what we're giving
extra credit to this week. Emily, what gets your extra
credit?
Emily: Well, to stay on theme, I'm giving extra credit to my
Kindle stand. So we've already given extra credit to our Kindle
page turner remotes that we both got from our mom a while back.
Well, the Kindle stand takes the remote to the next level. Mine
has a base that sits on the floor, and then a stand with an
adjustable arm, so I can arrange it to hold my Kindle over my bed
while I'm so cozy under my covers, and I can just click the
remote to turn the pages, and I don't have to take my arm out of
the warm blanket to tap the screen. It is for sure
ridiculous, but neither the stand or the remote are
particularly expensive, but they make the Kindle reading
experience so much better. And also, the stand will hold other
things like your phone and things like that, so it's not
only for a Kindle.
Heidi: And what I like, I mean, this actually is a practical
tool, because we both have arthritis in our hands, like the
old ladies we are, and you would think, like holding a book or
holding a Kindle, actually really hurts after a while, so
this is just a way to make that easier, and you get to stay snug
and cozy, so that's another bonus.
Emily: Yes, you can choose to be lazy even if you don't have
arthritis. What are you giving extra credit to, Heidi?
Heidi: Well, my extra credit goes to the Reading Journey app.
Emily: I just downloaded this.
Heidi: Okay, good. Now, I don't like Goodreads. I kind of was on
there years ago, but I just, I don't like it. Because probably
because there's just too many people I don't want to have to
show my reading to other people.
Emily: Yes.
Heidi: So I really haven't seriously tracked my reading,
but I've noticed it because most of my reading is either ebooks
or audiobooks. Without the cover, I'm really having a hard
time remembering which books I have read, because you just
don't have that visual reminder. So last year I decided I need to
start keeping track of what I read, and so I bought this cozy
little Google sheet library that builds little libraries. You
like every time you finish a book, it adds a little book to
the your library, which I love for that to be an app, because I
didn't find it easy to use on my phone.
So this year I set out on a quest to find a good reading
tracking app. I've been trying out four different ones, and of
the four, Reading Journey is by far my favorite. It has a really
nice interface, it's easy to navigate, and I will put a link
into the show notes if you want to see it. I don't know if it's
available on Android, I have it for iPhone, but it's worth
checking out. It doesn't have some of the bells and whistles
that some of the other apps do, but I am using the free version,
so maybe there's more in the paid. And then of the other apps
I'm trying, Fable is probably my second favorite. It has a nice
interface, but it does seem more geared toward connecting you
with people. I don't really care what anyone else is reading, and
I don't want anyone else to see what I'm reading. Make it sound
like I'm reading salacious novels. I just don't want to
have to explain it.
Emily: Yes.
Heidi: And then the two that I have not enjoyed are Bookmory
and Story Graph. I found them both kind of hard to navigate.
Bookmory actually pops up with ads because I'm using the free
version.
Emily: Yeah, I didn't like Bookmory either.
Heidi: No, and I have logged, I think, 25 books now in all of
these apps, and every single time Bookmory makes me like so
frustrated because I can't figure it out, like I can get it
uploaded, I can't get the thing to work, I can't get the rating
on it, just, yeah, so don't like that. And StoryGraph is fine,
but it's kind of hard to navigate, and it's not very
pretty.
Emily: I like all the data you get from Story Graph, that's
what it's good for, but I feel like a lot of the other things,
it's not really good for that, so.
Heidi: Yeah, and I do find it tricky in Story Graph, if I want
to see, like, all of the books I've read so far this year,
surprisingly hard to find. I can see the genres and all the pages
and everything, but yeah, so that's Heidi's recommendations.
Emily: What I liked about Reading Journey is the cute
widget you can get on your screen that has like a bookshelf
that shows what you're reading. Did you know you can do that?
Heidi: No!
Emily: Yes, so it like puts a little like rectangular
bookshelf onto your screen, and then it has what you're
currently reading on the bookshelf.
Heidi: Oh, that's really fun.
Emily: So, I'll show you how to do it.
Heidi: Okay, yeah. I look forward to that. Trying to
decide if I want to get the upgrade. I missed the days where
you could buy an app and just own it instead of having to pay
for it every single year.
Emily: Yeah.
Heidi: So that's my hang up with that one.
Well, that is it for today's episode. Thank you for coming
with us on this ride and this experiment. Hopefully, we've got
some new ideas for books that you can put on hold at the
library, so you can enjoy reading all summer long.
Emily: And don't forget to add our book, Structure and Spark,
to your list.
Heidi: We hope you enjoyed this episode of Teacher Approved. I'm
Heidi.
Emily: And I'm Emily. Thank you for listening. Be sure to follow
or subscribe in your podcast app so that you never miss an
episode.
Heidi: You can connect with us and other teachers in the
Teacher Approved Facebook group. We'll see you here next week.
Bye for now.
Emily: Bye.
