I get giddy in the pen/paper aisles.
Chief
Oh, my goodness! Me, too! The other day, one of my 6th Graders stated, "Wow, Mrs. S, You must REALLY like pens!" When I opened my actual pen drawer, his eyes were huge and he literally jaw-dropped!
I wear T-shirts that say things like “Ha ha made you read,” “ Sorry I can’t. I’m grading papers until I die,” and “Books. Helping introverts avoid conversation since 1454.”
English teacher shirts are the best! 😉
LOVE your T-shirt sayings!
I’m a professional not trusted and judged by people who don’t know my clientele.
Chief
Oh, so for real! ...and quickly, senselessly judged by people who have no experience.
The backseat of my car always has at least 10 books, 3 folders with stacks of essays to grade, and 8 empty coffee cups littered on the ground hahah... english teacher much?
Chief
I feel you! I feel like every aspect of my life is touched by my career.
Many phrases that tell all I’m a teacher…
1. I have three minutes to use the restroom.
2. I have to gobble my lunch with a 25 minute lunch break.
3. Acting like a mamma bear over the protection of my favorite pens.
4. Explaining things to my family like a teacher would with her class.
5. Having a “to do” list in my purse.
6. I buy bulk candy.
7. Being excited over someone bringing a treat into the office for teachers. Most teachers would have been happy to each road kill with taco chips.
8. I always cry on the last day of the year while driving home.
9. Carrying home papers to grade each day knowing I wouldn’t get to them.
10. I carry in 10 bags of stuff everyday.
11. I look forward to our team meeting..adult conversation.
12. The happiness I felt prior to Christmas, spring, and summer breaks. Usually happier than the kids.
13. 3:35pm daily
No for me!!
Forgetting to drink during the day and finding laminating and cutting satisfying
Chief
Awwww, the laminating!!! I have one of those cold-film crank style laminators. There isn't anything more satisfying than turn that crank handle and watching pictures and letters roll out!😆
No matter where I am, I can't walk past a pencil on the ground without picking it up.
I have a heavy backpack filled with papers and high lighters!!
Chief
There you go, also to sit mindlesslt staring at a computer screen while trying to decipher jabber and jargon produced by 11-14year old beings.
I’m in the doctor’s office with a novel (“The Pearl”, “Things Fall Apart”) and a highlighter on my backpack; on the chair next to me are a pencil and a notebook. I read, highlight something, then grab the pencil and notebook to scribble something on a page of what looks like hieroglyphics;-)
