In Episode 8 we chat with the incredible Nancy Chung, aka Fancy Nancy in 5th, to discuss creative classrooms, cultural exchange in Japan, and how humor builds community in schools.
Takeaways:
Nancy’s Creative Classrooms: Nancy shares how she designs her classroom to feel like a welcoming second home for her students.
Lesson Plan Roulette: Lauran, Jordan, and Nancy hilariously improvise lessons on random topics, like drawing stick figures, making PB&J, and debating pineapple on pizza.
Hogwarts Parody: The group creates a magical parody universe with houses like Gryphonor, Hogglepoof, and Reubenclue — and the school of Piggy Farts.
Teaching in Japan: Nancy discusses her trip to Japan, comparing their education system to the U.S., including a surprising two-year maternity leave policy.
The Power of Humor: Whether through TikTok or teaching games, humor plays a huge role in making classrooms fun and engaging.
