Whether you’re a Gen Z screenager, a morbid Millennial, or an emotionally unavailable Gen X-er, there’s one thing we can all agree on… we are NOT prepared for this life thing. And, it’s starting to look like nobody’s coming to the rescue.
As an educator trauma bonded to social media and lifelong human, Lauran Woolley (@mrs.woolleyin5th) has learned one essential truth above all else – history repeats itself. Each week, join Lauran and Jordan Woolley as they are thrown into the deep end of some truly heinous games all in the pursuit of self-improvement for the future. From reenacting pivotal moments in history (see: surviving the Civil War as a circus clown) to solving a SAW-style escape room through crafting the perfect text for cancelling dinner plans - their pain is your gain. As we journey together towards preparedness, should at any point you start to feel nervous about mastering these critical life skills, just keep repeating this mantra: WE ARE FINE!

In Episode 8 we chat with the incredible Nancy Chung, aka Fancy Nancy in 5th, to discuss creative classrooms, cultural exchange in Japan, and how humor builds community in schools.
Takeaways:
Nancy’s Creative Classrooms: Nancy shares how she designs her classroom to feel like a welcoming second home for her students.
Lesson Plan Roulette: Lauran, Jordan, and Nancy hilariously improvise lessons on random topics, like drawing stick figures, making PB&J, and debating pineapple on pizza.
Hogwarts Parody: The group creates a magical parody universe with houses like Gryphonor, Hogglepoof, and Reubenclue — and the school of Piggy Farts.
Teaching in Japan: Nancy discusses her trip to Japan, comparing their education system to the U.S., including a surprising two-year maternity leave policy.
The Power of Humor: Whether through TikTok or teaching games, humor plays a huge role in making classrooms fun and engaging.
