165. Making Space for Silliness in Our Schools With Mike Bender

Schools are full of engaging activities, creative lesson plans, procedures and routines, and assessments to assess mastery. And while all of those items are important, there’s one thing that’s missing in classrooms, and that is being silly. While teachers want students to have fun, being silly tends to be overlooked. But we’re here to change that. One of my favorite children’s authors, Mike Bender, stopped by to share how his new book, The Most Serious Fart, helps bring silliness into the classroom.Grab a copy of Mike's book The Most Serious Fart here!Check out my Free Literacy Workshop.
