1 Year of Fresh Queens of ELA IRL!

🎙️ Season 3 Episode 3 - 🎉 ONE WHOLE YEAR OF FRESH QUEENS OF ELA IRL!!! 🎉

Somehow, it has officially been a full year of us getting on the mic, talking all things ELA, teacher life, trying new things, figuring shit out, and bringing you along for the ride, so obviouslyyy, we had to celebrate!

In this anniversary episode, we’re looking back at some of our favorite episodes we’ve recorded over the past year, talking about what we’re dying to try next, and sharing the things that are lighting our souls on fire right now.

But we’re also getting a little reflective. We’re revisiting who and where we were this time last year, how much has changed since then, the ways we’ve grown personally and professionally, and what we hope the NEXT year holds for each of us 🥹

And because it wouldn’t be an anniversary celebration without a lil gift, we have a surprise for you! 👀🎁

Both of us are sharing a FREE resource with you to say thank you for listening, hanging out with us, sending us your messages, sharing the pod, and being part of this little Fresh Queens corner of the ELA world for the past year.
