Podcasting By Threes: Part One

Although I've been keeping up with the podcasting, it's been more than a minute since I've updated this page. This school year has been a constant balancing act between teaching fulltime, my fulltime administration certification program, and my writing/podcasting career. 

Phew! I'm honestly tired just writing that all! Anyway, it's not feasible for me to post every time I publish a podcast episode. So, for the remainder of the season, I'm going to post about multiple podcasts at once. So without further ado, here's a taste of the past three episodes.

Podcasting By Threes: Podcast Number One

Chalk + Ink: Episode 67; All Things Preschool with
​Susan Edwards Richmond and René Colato Laínez

Earlier this fall, we had an all things kindergarten chat with Jyoti Rajan Gopal and Tina M. Cho. Today we talk about all things preschool with Susan Edwards Richmond and René Colato Laínez.
​
We chat about classroom communities, differentiation in the classroom, and the importance of families.

Podcasting By Threes: Podcast Number Two

Chalk + Ink: Episode 68; Everything Depends on Relationships with Mk Smith Despres

Mk Smith Despres talks about all the different kinds of walks they take from the everything-is-the-worst walk, to the there’s-a-problem-in-the text walk, to the walking-with-the-kids walk.
But most of all, this episode focuses on the importance of relationships–relationships with our editors, our students, and our writing process.

You can preorder Mk Smith Despres' debut picture book from  Imaginary Bookshop or The Eric Carle Museum.

Podcasting By Threes: Podcast Number Three

Chalk + Ink: Episode 69; Writing Matters with Gita Varadarajan

In this episode with Gita Varadarajan we talk about national boundaries dissolving in the classroom, writing as therapy, and the power of writing partnerships.

Gita is as delightful as her books Save Me a Seat and My Bindi, which a lucky listener can be eligible to win simply by sharing this episode on social media and tagging Gita and me. Or you can leave a comment below on this post before March first.

Finally, I mentioned Hanh Bui's debut picture book in this episode, but I couldn't recall the title. It's called  The Yellow Áo Dài and it would pair wonderfully with Gita's My Saree, which comes out in August this year.

I'll post again in March. In the meantime, if you want to listen to the latest episode, check out Chalk + Ink on Buzzsprout.
