The Squiz Kids Newsletter!
Hello and welcome to the Squiz Kids Newsletter! We're your weekly snapshot of classroom-ready stories, fresh resources and curious conversations to spark thinking in your students.
Each week, Christie shares what’s happening at Squiz Kids HQ, previews the upcoming podcast content, and links to timely articles and ideas relevant to teachers and classrooms.
And from time to time, Bryce pops in with a parent perspective, sharing reflections from life as a dad and what he’s noticing from the kitchen table to the carpool lane.
