This week, I had a full-circle moment as a burnt-out teacher turned soccer mom… and then immediately pivoted to unpacking a story where a fourth grader threw up peace signs and declared his love for a very adult body part during writing time.

You know—balance.

We’re talking about teachers surviving without running water (again), why I physically can’t handle fairs (also again), and what to actually do when a student says something so inappropriate that your prefrontal cortex short-circuits.

Plus, I’ve got updates on my DonorsChoose shoutouts, book club chaos, and what AI tool just got sneakier inside Canva (heads up, ELA folks—you’ll want to hear this).

Takeaways:

  • A fourth grader makes a wildly inappropriate announcement during writing—and the class implodes.

  • Teachers are once again told to hold it… because there’s no water in the school.

  • Andrea accidentally tries to become a “fair girl” and it goes very, very wrong.

  • Canva's new AI tool might be quietly doing your students’ writing—ELA teachers, beware.

  • How Andrea’s live shows are now highlighting and funding real teachers' classroom needs.
