Ep 71 // Take a Summer Road Trip with The Classroom Commute Podcast!

Inside This Week’s Episode: It’s time to take this show on the road! Join Rachael on The Classroom Commute Summer Road Trip as we visit some of the most popular episodes from the last school year to help you feel prepared and motivated for the next school year!


Who’s ready for a summer road trip?

We’ve been carpooling together all school year long - it only makes sense that we take this show on the road and swap the classroom commute for a summer road trip!

Along the way we’ll stop at some of the most popular tourist destinations (aka most popular episodes from the past school year).

And what does every road trip need? An EPIC playlist! I’ve got you covered! I’ll provide the tunes - and by tunes, I mean episodes that are packed with teacher goodness, motivation, and inspiration, ya know - the typical Classroom Commute stuff :)

This summer, I’m in the driver’s seat and I’ll share a weekly playlist that you can listen to as you sit back and enjoy the view out the window!

And, of course what’s a road trip without souvenirs? Yep, I’ve got those, too! With each weekly playlist, I’ll be sharing freebies and giveaways along the way! Be sure you’re on my email list so you don’t miss out!

Hey, teachers, if you have a classroom and a commute, you're in the right place. I'm your host, Rachael, and I want to ride along with you each week on your ride into school. This podcast is the place for busy teachers who want actionable tips, simple strategies, and just want to enjoy their job more. Let's go.

Hey there, welcome to another episode of The Classroom Commute Podcast. Ten months out of the year on this podcast, The Classroom Commute Podcast works perfectly because you do likely have a commute on your ride into school each morning. Of course, 2020 and the first half of 2021 has changed our commute drastically as many teachers likely have their commute from their bedroom to their kitchen table since they're teaching virtually, but on a normal year my guess is that your commute is likely 10, 15, 20 minutes or so to get yourself to school. That's why I've designed this podcast to have these short bite sized episodes that you can consume and enjoy from start to finish on your ride into school. However, the other two months of the year, our commutes likely drop off altogether because we're on summer vacation, which is great! We love that! That's a great perk of being a teacher. I thought that this summer I'd have a little fun with you. Instead of commuting with you on your ride into school, I thought, let's take a summer road trip together. Why not, right? Here's what I've planned.

If you're like most teachers, your favorite podcasts, TV shows, and Netflix library, they all start to pile up because, well, life, right? We get busy. We miss an episode or two or ten, and we fall behind. The beauty of being a teacher is that most of our schedules become a little more relaxed, a little more chill in the summertime. We have a chance to catch up, travel, and enjoy all things summer. I want to help you catch up or maybe even revisit some of the past episodes here on the podcast that you might have missed over the course of the school year. If you're just finding this podcast, it'll be a great way to get you up to speed. Here's what's going to happen. Each week we will be "road tripping" to a new destination together. Think destinations like reading rodeo or classroom management mountain. Queue all the corny alliteration here. Ha! And with each destination, I'll be putting together our playlist for our road trip that week. The playlist will consist of a few episodes that all fit into a certain theme so that you can binge listen to some of the past episodes here on the podcast. To make things even more fun, because a road trip without fun is not worth going on, there will be souvenirs to collect along the way as well, a.k.a. freebies and giveaways. Make sure you're on my email list to be included in those souvenirs. I'll be emailing them out each week. If you aren't on my email list, head over to the show notes at classroomnook.com/podcast/71 and I will have a link there for you to sign up so you don't miss any of these souvenirs.

Now, you would never road trip with a stranger, right? Of course not. I know we're not exactly strangers, especially if you've been with me for a while, but I bet there are some things that you are curious about me. That's why next week on the podcast, I'm going to be answering your questions in a fun 'ask me anything' episode. Literally ask me anything! I've never done this before on the podcast, but I'm excited to have you get to know me a little bit better outside of my teaching world. After all, when you go on a road trip with someone, you spend lots of time with them and you likely learn some fun facts along the way. Anything you want to know, ask me! From personal to professional, I'll answer them all. If you've got a question you'd like me to answer, head over to the show notes at classroomnook.com/podcast/71 and there will be a simple Google form for you to submit your questions. Simple as that. I cannot wait to hear what questions you have.

All right. That's it for me today. I told you last week I was going to introduce something really fun and exciting so there you have it. We're going to go on a road trip together this summer. I am excited to go with you and have you join us along the ride. To prepare for our summer road trip, make sure you go over to the show notes, you're on my email so you get all the souvenirs and the goodies that go along with this road trip that we're doing together. And submit your questions, because next week in our 'Ask Me Anything' episode, I'm going to be diving deep and I'm going to be spilling all the beans.

All right. I hope you have a great rest of your week. I will be back again next week with our first episode of our road trip. Bye for now.
