She asked the kids to write instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and followed them exactly
Sloan ended up covering herself in peanut butter and jelly before telling the students how important it is to add description to their writingA teacher in Idaho is teaching her kids an important, albeit messy, lesson about creative writing.
In a recent TikTok clip, Kayleigh Sloan, 28, who is a first and second grade looping teacher, filmed herself teaching her class the importance of accuracy when describing how to make a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich.,
Sloan began the clip, which has now been watched 54.5 million times, by telling the kids, 'I'm going to read some of your responses on how to make a PB&J, and then I am going to copy exactly what your writing says."
'So, the first one says, 'You get bread, you get peanut butter and you get jelly,' ' Sloan said, holding all the items in her arms, asking, 'Did I make it?' as the kids insisted, "No!"
'That's what it said to do,' Sloan replied. 'I got my bread, I got my peanut butter and I got my jelly — so it's done.'
'That's not how you make it!' one student yelled out, as Sloan moved on to another student's suggestion.
'Put the bread flat,' Sloan told the class, pressing firmly on the bread. 'Alright, it's pretty flat. I feel like that's good.'
'Spread jelly and jam on the bread,' she read aloud, spreading the jelly on one side and peanut butter on the other, while the bread was still in the plastic.
'Like this?' Sloan questioned, adding, 'Is it ready to eat?' much to the students' disgust.
One kid insisted, 'That's not how you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!'
'That's what it said to do!' Sloan responded before moving on to another student's list.
'You need to get out the — Ooooh! Get out the bread. First, I get out the bread,' Sloan said, grabbing a piece of bread.
'Get out some jelly. Perfect!' she continued, throwing the item on the table, before following it up with some peanut butter.
'Okay, it's ready,' Sloan told the kids, insisting, 'That's what it said to do.'
Things then got even messier, as she told the students, 'Let's try another one: First, you must put on the jelly. Then, you must put on peanut butter," asking, 'Wait — I need to put it on? What?'
Sloan proceeded to rub the peanut butter and jelly all over her arms, as the students screamed.
'You're doing it wrong!' one kid said, as Sloan questioned, 'Okay, it's on — am I done?'
The class yelled "No!" as the teacher pointed out, 'But you told me to put it on. Like a T-shirt?'
She then explained the importance of the lesson she was trying to teach, telling the kids, 'So, we just did a whole lesson on adding detail to our writing. Do we understand why you have to have detail? Did anybody ever mention a plate or a knife?' asking, 'Did we even use these?' while holding them up.
'All I did was exactly what you told me to do," Sloan continued to tell the class. "So, do we see how important it is to include all the correct steps? ... So, if we were to redo this, what could our first step be?' before they yelled out suggestions on how to be more descriptive to make sure the sandwich got made correctly.

Sloan told Today.com that the kids "were mind-blown" following the class, adding to the outlet that she'd seen the peanut butter and jelly sandwich experiment on TikTok five years ago.
She told the publication she now teaches the "hilarious" lesson every year.
"The point of the lesson is to add detail and be descriptive in writing,' Sloan said. 'Words are so important and can easily change the meaning of what we're saying. That's why I was so literal with the instructions.'
Sloan didn't immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE for comment on the viral clip.

Ken Jennings Details the Last Time He Saw Alex Trebek
Ken Jennings got candid about the last time he saw former Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek before his death. The current host opened up during a Q&A for his book, The Complete Kennections, on August 12, in front of fans at Lake Forest Park, Washington. Jennings told the audience that he and Trebek were backstage at Jeopardy! shortly before Alex's death, according to MLT News. 'He was, you know, sometimes in a lot of pain,' Ken Jennings shared. 'Then Johnny [Gilbert] would say his name, and like magic, he would just walk out there and be Alex Trebek, you know, 37 years of sense memory and experience, and he could just turn it on.' Jennings recalls asking Trebek how he was doing, to which he replied, 'A lot of people don't get to hear the nice things said about them after they're gone. I'm still here.'' Jennings went on to say that Trebek used to get 'tens of thousands of pieces of mail,' including quilts, letters, and remedies. 'I think he had hosted that show for decades without really realizing what he meant to us, and it was only in the final months that he saw how important he was to a massive viewing audience. And I was really touched by that.' Jennings said that despite Trebek not being a hugger, they hugged at the end of the interaction. 'If there is a difference between my hosting and Alex, I'm, like, just not as good,' Jennings told the crowd. 'It's that I have been a contestant before. So when I see the players, I know the emotional state they're in. It's very intense to play Jeopardy!.' Alex Trebek died on November 8, 2020, at the age of 80, from stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Trebek began hosting Jeopardy! in 1984 and stopped in October 2020. His last episode aired in January 2021. Ken Jennings then took over with Mayim Bialik as cohost. In December 2023, he became the sole host of the game show. The host also gave an update on the beloved announcer, Johnny Gilbert. 'Gilbert has never missed a show in 42 years,' he said. Jennings added that he is in his 90s and is in 'phenomenal shape.' 'That is his hair, believe it or not,' he added. However, Gilbert doesn't come in to the studio anymore and records all of the intros from his home. , Season 42, September 8, check local listings Solve the daily Crossword

Dove Partners with Award-Winning Musician Ciara to Remix the Nostalgic "Hokey Pokey," Into an Anthem to Drop Your Skin-hibitions
The reimagined lyrics inspire women to shed insecurities about uneven skin and affirm they have nothing to hide HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, beauty brand Dove announced its partnership with GRAMMY award-winning global music icon and skin realist Ciara to help reduce skin-related insecurities so women feel they have nothing to hide. With 76% of women avoiding clothes that reveal uneven skin, women often make everyday choices shaped by what they assume should be covered up – from avoiding the beach to adding layers. To flip this outdated narrative, the brand partnered with Ciara to remix the childhood classic "The Hokey Pokey," and empower women to show off their skin with confidence. "The Hokey Pokey" is a song and dance where you move your body in and out — the same way women often hide areas of themselves they feel most self-conscious about. Inspired by real stories of skin insecurities, this modernized version of "The Hokey Pokey" is flipping the script. It was written as an anthem for women to reclaim confidence in their skin and to put it all out there — no hesitation, no apologies. This isn't just a remix of "The Hokey Pokey," it's a bold and joyful celebration to help remove the skin-hibitions women face daily. "I've always believed in owning your story, skin marks and all, so partnering with Dove to remix 'The Hokey Pokey' in such a meaningful way has been powerful — not just as an artist, but as a woman and a mom. Having been in the spotlight for most of my career, I've felt the pressure to hide things like stretch marks or uneven skin. But over time, I've learned confidence is about embracing, loving and caring for your skin," said Ciara. "This version of 'The Hokey Pokey' encourages us to love the skin we're in and do what makes us happiest without fear or filter, because we all deserve to feel seen, celebrated and supported — not covered up." This campaign celebrates the first anniversary of the launch of the Dove Cream Serum line, which marked the brand's new launch into the dermo-cosmetic body lotion category, which has seen success across geographic markets to date. Dove saw a gap in the market for accessible, quality options that help alleviate frustrating skin damage concerns that can cause women to feel insecure, such as uneven tone, rough texture or extra dry, flaky skin. Developed with dermatologists, the Dove Cream Serums are designed to deliver 72-hour moisture and visibly improve skin texture, and help even skin tone. They work by supporting the skin's natural regenerative process to care for each person's unique skin. Available in options tailored to women's top skin concerns, these clinically proven, lightweight body serums offer solutions to minimize possible sources of insecurity on their personal skin confidence journeys. "Dove's mission has always been to turn beauty into a source of happiness and confidence, not anxiety. With our remixed version of 'The Hokey Pokey' in partnership with Ciara, we hope to inspire women to let go of their skin-hibitions," said Bérengère Loubatier, Senior Global Brand Vice President, Hair and Skin Care at Dove. "Our research shows that while some women view their skin marks as a positive reflection of their journey, others may carry insecurities. That's why, with Dove Cream Serums and this new joyful anthem, we want every woman to feel empowered to sing, dance and embrace their skin with confidence."
