If you’re a regular blog reader, you know how much I love teachers. Usually, when I meet someone new, I can tell within a few minutes whether the person is a teacher. Teachers are just special like nobody else I know. What can I say? Who else can appreciate a teacher’s job the way teachers do?

Hey, let’s take a step back today and look at the fun, humorous side of teaching. Let’s tell some sweet, positive stories that only teachers will understand. We know who we are and what we do! Let’s hear it for teachers!

To start, I’ll modify a prompt from a famous comedian: You might be a teacher if…

  • You tell your husband to use his “inside voice.”
  • Your Christmas tree is covered with handmade ornaments–that were made by other people’s children.
  • You tell strangers to spit out their gum.
  • When you’re in the mall and a child runs by you, you stop him and tell him to walk.
  • You can’t remember the last time you read a book that didn’t have pictures in it.
  • When you’re in a store, you ask people not to cut in line.

Get the idea? Let’s have fun and share a giggle!

Your admiring blog host,

Hope

    You forget to “go potty” during an entire day because you’re too busy making sure everyone else has!!!

    You might be a pre-k teacher if you see a child in public with his shoes untied and you have to stop yourself from stooping down to tie them.

    You catch yourself singing a song suitable only for 4 or 5 year old children while grocery shopping. Later in the checkout line, you realize the Thanksgiving macaroni necklace made with your class that day is still around your neck.

    You might be a teacher if…

    You find yourself playing “find the letters of the alphabet on groceries” in the grocery stores when you run into your students.

    When you see your students out side of the classroom and they looked amazed that you actually DON’T live at school.

    You might be a teacher if you sing a “wake up” song in the morning.

    You must be a teacher if…..
    You sing the clean-up song while you are doing the dishes
    You need glucosamine in order to get up from circle time
    You feel like a referee and policeman
    You go to bed smiling at the things your students said that delighted your heart

    I think that I am in the wrong profession! I collect acorns and pine cones with the grands! Kids, anybodys, are attracted to be like a magnet and I love it! Always asking anybody for magazines! I collect shoe boxes, coffee cans, anything that you can put something in so that I can make things with the grands!

    You might be a teacher if
    You are always collecting other peoples junk for art projects.

    you are upset that baby food jars are being replaced by plastic.

    when you go for a walk you are always stopping to pick up pinecones and acorns,
