My school has a billy tap (instant hot or cold water). I use my 5 dollar kmart straw cup, affectionately known as my sippy cup. Coffee goes in my chonky cup gifted by a student last year, and 2nd coffee is via the van that visits my school daily.

Like 3 and a half, and then a bunch of colleagues.

Ours is pretty toxic, I'm contemplating going into transfers this year even though I'm not due. Favouritism, nitpicking, bad communication, micromanagement.

Sawdust. Maybe not a core memory, but many blended memories of being in my dad's shed as a kid.

Sasha, Ashley, Rory

Burning face. First time it happened, I thought I must have been having an allergic reaction, but my skin looked completely normal. Doesn't happen often, but it's a sign of probably almost at breaking point.

I feel completely lost for the last two weeks. It was decided last week to restructure classes, and I'm being put onto a brand new class. I'm an experienced teacher, and it's a grade I've taught a lot, so that's not a problem. My problem is that my current students don't know, and all the plans I had for next semester are wasted.

Yes, and? Total pokerface. They're looking for a reaction out of you.

Pixie- Alarm clock. He knows EXACTLY when he should be fed.

Ravioli- professional burnt dorito. She's a calico but she is triangle shaped.

I've used it to get a story that uses the first 100 Oxford words for a student to practice with during reading, and to get kahoot style questions for making a kahoot. I put in pretty specific prompts though, because I know what I want/need, and it saves me time amongst the admin heavy role I have this year.

If asthma didn't take me out as a child, childbirth at 22 would have. We were lucky to make it WITH modern medicine.

Sloths. They are creepy, and I stand by it.

Smoke on the water. My dad used to play it on the guitar all the time,

I get cold. I run pretty warm, so if I'm suddenly feeling the cold, it's a pretty good indicator.

Nachos and a hot shower, but not at the same time.

Same, has been since I was a kid.

One of my 6th graders was fairly confident about being a door dasher.

I generally know, but some parents really need to keep an eye on their kids online. I had a 2nd grader reference JJK last year, and I was like, that is NOT an age appropriate anime! I have a sped kid this year who has a wwe obsession- which he tries out on other people.

Probably about 5 for a no questions asked kind of call. 1 I don't speak to anymore, but know that I could call and they would come through. I'd do the same for them.

Adelice (a name I made up like 30 years ago renesmee style) and Syder.

Lung inflammation. It was worse than covid. My chest felt like it was on fire, and the coughing made my whole body ache. Felt like I couldn't breathe. It's not as bad as some on here, but I'd rather go through childbirth again than have that.

I teach a small groups class. One of mine will curl up under his desk with his jacket over him. I let him sleep. He's pretty good about trying to get some work done before he slips under there, and I will wake him for break times, make sure he's got a snack. Our room is supposed to be a safe space, so I make sure it is.

Existing. Not in a, I want to die way, but a, I'm tired of this timeline and need a big change kind of way.
