Ms. Gina has stories to tell.
The real classroom moments behind the comics — written down, for the teachers who lived through the same kind of day.
“I had a plan for today. The hamster had other plans.”
Teacher Life stories, reflections, and the moments that make the job worth it — even the hamster days.
Not another productivity book.
This is a companion — short, honest stories from Ms. Gina’s classroom, each one walking through what actually happened, what didn’t work, what shifted, and what she’d tell you if you asked her over coffee.
Every story follows the same quiet shape.

Born in an actual classroom.
Ms. Gina started as a comic strip on Educatedly.com, a free K–12 lesson site — a small, honest character sketched from a real retired teacher’s stories, mug and all.
The comics are still there, twice a week, completely free. This book is what happens when those moments get room to breathe into something longer.
The book isn’t out yet — but it’s coming.
No signup, no email needed. Just check back here, or keep up with the comics on Educatedly — that’s where you’ll see it first.
