The ABC's of being a teacher

Always there for those that need it

Becoming a better mentor with each day

Calling on students at random to challenge them

Deciding endless things, every minute of every day

Eating between classes, because lunch breaks are used to set up the next class

Finding endless support for those who need it

Going the extra mile(s)

Holding space for those with tears

Illnesses every winter

Joking with the students about life's silly conundrums

Keeping everything organized so the students feel organized

Learning along with them

Making endless crafts

No, we don't say that to each other!

Open your eyes, in the back.

Pretending we're not going through a hard day

Questioning admin's decisions

Reading endlessly

Studying over the summer

Tuning violins in orchestra class

Understanding what it takes to help a student "get it"

Volunteering and being volunteered

Waiting for the end-of-day bell

X-haling when the day is over

Yawning as we fall into bed

Zzzzzzz........
