With a little elbow twisting (okay not that much) and promises that it would be in person so she could show off her amazing hair, Triple-I invited back our amazing Practicum teacher from Fall 2022, Kim Sanchez.  LIVE from the Junior Cohort, 2023 classroom at WSUV, we provided the students of this year's class to ask burning questions they had regarding their futures as teachers by giving them insight into public schools from the lens of someone who has been a teacher, a principal, and admin.

For this episode, we interviewed students ranging from age 9 to age 14 for our TCH_LRN 322 Reading & Writing 4-8 class.  This interview was meant to find out more about "Tweenager" interests outside of school and specifically to obtain data and information regarding their Reading Interests.  We found that by completing these interviews, we were able to gain a deeper sense of the students as people as we delved into students' culture, language, home life, and how they felt about being "Tweenagers".
