Hi guys, welcome to Teacher's Off-Duty. I'm Rebecca Rogers or our Rogers World.

I'm Tom Williams or Mr. Williams Pre-K. I'm honest teacher vibes, hey best friend.

And I'm Lauren Wolley or Mrs. Wolley in fifth. And today, this episode is supported by student

treasures. We've been talking about student treasures for the past few episodes. And honestly,

it is such a cool company. So student treasures is trying to reach the goal of having millions

and millions of student authors. So we all know that our students like to come up with crazy

wild stories, which is what we're going to talk about today. But student treasures sends you a

free publishing kit to teachers. It's free for teachers. And you get all kinds of cool materials

in that kit. And then your students work together to create a class book that you then send back

to them and gets created into a published bound book. It's just so cool. And that's really great

for student engagement also. There's so many skills that you can learn from this really cool

activity. There's collaboration, like you can do kind of group stories, group illustration,

so they can be individual stories. There's so many things that you could do. And taking ownership

of their work too. Like when they know it's going to be a published book that they're going to see

eventually, they're going to be so much so much more excited to work on that. And I think

it boosts their confidence as well. Oh definitely. For sure. I like to think of it's like doing a

cute little book for like graduation. I don't be so precious. I'm having them like when I grow up,

I want to be for graduation. You need to do that. You would buy like the parents would just like

I can't imagine if you grew a kid. No, that would be I'd buy that. I'm not even a parent.

Your kids might buy that. See, these books are the perfect example of the best side of our students.

I want to talk about, I don't want to say the worst side, but the wildest side, wild child,

I want to hear your wildest student stories who wants to go first. Oh my god. I have a good one
