Teacher's Corner

Remnant Stew features strange but true stories about historic people and events that can greatly enhance student learning.

Complied by our own Dr. Steven Meeker who has an EdD in education with 42 years of classroom or administrative experience. 
Below is a comprehensive list of topics that fit into curriculum but there is more in every episode

Each episode ends with a Trivia Challenge question. If your classroom would like to answer the trivia question then send us an email with their answer to StayCurious@RemnantStew.com. If your class is the first to answer we will send a cool little care package to the class and mention them in an upcoming episode.
