English Time Fun Zone
by Greg Tessendorf
This is a look into our world of Language Arts. I teach 7th, 8th, and 9th graders at our school, and I'm excited to get to share some of their thoughts. We'll talk reading, writing, and include some entertainment along the way.

Merry Christmas from Mr. T’s room!
We had some fun making some parodies of some classic holiday songs and poems, and a few groups wanted to share some cheer with you all. Enjoy a short and sweet holiday edition of English Time Fun Zone!

Hungry Hungry 8th Graders
We just finished reading and discussing The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins in 8 Language Arts, and the students have something to say about it! Listen in on their takeaways from the novel, and a special segment from two of our very own.

What a Time. What Is Time? Where Is Our Thyme
Well, we’re late, but the content is still incredibly average! We got to record this on our date night—thanks Mimi!—and probably had too much fun. We talk about our newfound freedom, the insignificance if time, and whatever else comes up.

Happy Mother’s Day!
In this episode, we share our love and appreciation for our mothers, and talk about momma Kas’ experience on her first Mother’s Day. We notice things get a little silly and have differing thoughts on music choices, and play my favorite game yet! Keep listening and don’t forget to drop us a line…

Avocados, from Mexico, and other local joints.
On episode 8 we Mrs. T and I chat about our favorite local places, spending all the time together, and speaking fluent Spanish. Also, my toes are attacked. We made it a rowdy one, just for you! Also, the last 5 minutes includes the sound of me trying to burp Porter. He saw me doing that to Louie...

The Assessment Is in: He’s a Treat
This episode, we catch up with an old friend, Adam Blair. He’s been enjoying time still working as an assessor, doing projects with his fiancé and his golden retriever (Kenzie and Hamilton, respectively), and keeping up with new music (Larry Fleet is the newest name here!) and Ozarks on Netflix...

Get Your Game Face On!
This episode, we try something novel and innovative, and, quite frankly, completely unfamiliar to us. Or to me at least. That new thing is structure. We still have our Porter and the Poobah section, but we’re introducing Things I Notice, and Game Time! What a rush. As always, feel free to stop by...

Holy guests! People are listening??
In this episode we hear from an old friend and classmate, Ben Lott. Thank goodness at least one person enjoys this. We also have a (probably) famous YouTube vlogger, Lance Tobedecided, who shares his struggles with needing to meet his guests face to face for video interviews...I also talk with a...

Rad Dad and Outs and Abouts
More happenings from the homestead! V exciting to be recording from home now. Porter has met Louie and vice versa, we are grilling and chilling, and meeting neighbors (from a distance, of course). Also, feel free to drop us a line! We’d love to hear from you! Visit anchor.fm/mrt13/message and…

What's up with Vanessa? An interview with a student.
Thank you to our first guest, Vanessa, who volunteered to be interviewed. We cover quarantining with siblings, reading, writing (proud teacher moment--don't mind the authentic 1-1 reading and writing conferences between me and my student!), and leaving our story for the future. Why wouldn't…

Headstands and Healthy(?) Snacks
We’re on week 2! Still talking snacks (a 10 for 5 fiasco), Porter, and entertainment, along with more experiences and a health kick. We reference The Wood Brothers’ song, “The Muse,” which can be found at https://youtu.be/3U0arXdrvlE. The chair in the episode thumbnail gets an honorable mention,...

Figuring Things Out: from Porter to quarantine to snacks
This is just our first shot at podcasting. Hopefully I can pick up the pace a bit and get Momma Kas and some others more air time, but for now take a listen into our lives for the time being. We’ve been cooped up for long enough!
