A teacher in Idaho teaches his children an important, albeit messy, lesson about creative writing.
In a new one Tiktok Clip, Kayleigh Sloan, 28, who is a looping teacher in the first and second class, filmed himself and taught his class the importance of accuracy when describing how to make a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich.,
Sloan started the clip, which has now seen 54.5 million times, by saying the children, “I will read some of your answers on how to make a PB & J, and then I will copy exactly what your writing says.”
“So, the first one says:” You get bread, you get peanut butter and you get jelly, “said Sloan, holding all the items in your arms, asking,” Have I done it? “As the children 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.”
“It’s not the way you do!” A student screamed out when Sloan went on to another student’s proposal.
“Put the bread flat,” Sloan said to the class and pressed the bread. “Okay, that’s pretty flat. I feel it’s good.”
“Spread jelly and jam on the bread,” she read aloud and spreads the gel on one side and peanut butter on the other, while the bread was still in the plastic.
“Like this?” Sloan questioned and added, “Is it ready to eat?” Much to the disgust of the students.
A child insisted: “It’s not how you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!”
“That’s what it said to do!” Sloan replied before moving on to another student list.
“You have to take out – ooooh! Take out the bread. First I get the bread,” said Sloan, taking a piece of bread.
“Take out some jelly. Perfect!” She continued and threw the object on the table before following it up with some peanut butter.
“Okay, of course,” Sloan told the kids and insisted, “that’s what it said.”
Things then became still Messier, as she told the students, “Let’s try another: First you have to put on the gel. Then you have to put on peanut butter,” Ask, “Wait – I have to put it on? What?”
Sloan continued to rub the peanut butter and gel over their arms as the students screamed.
“You’re doing it wrong!” A child said, as Sloan questioned, “Okay, it’s on – am I done?”
The class screamed “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 tried to teach and told the children, “So we just made a whole lesson to add details to our writing. Do we understand why you must have details? Has anyone ever mentioned a plate or a knife?” asked: “We even used these?” while holding them up.
“Everything I did was exactly what you told me to do,” Sloan continued to tell the class. “So we see how important it is to include all the correct steps? … so if we were to do this, what can our first step be?” Before they screamed suggestions on how to be more descriptive to make sure the sandwich became correct.

Sloan told us Today.com That the children “was mind-flow” after the class and adds to the outlet that she had seen peanut butter and jelly sandwich experiments on Tiktok five years ago.
She told the publication that she is now teaching the “funny” lesson every year.
“The point of the lesson is to add details and be descriptive in writing,” Sloan said. “Words are so important and can easily change the importance of what we say. That’s why I was so literal with the instructions.”
Sloan did not answer immediately when contacted by People to comment on the viral clip.
