"Oh, you're THAT teacher." Anyone ever heard that? Or maybe you have said, "Oh, she's THAT teacher."
In our #100DaysofNotebooking group, someone shared a page with this prompt. So, today I share what makes ME that teacher.
I'm THAT teacher...
- who has piles (upon piles) on her desk.
- who has too many tabs open on her computer.
- who has a TBR pile that is uncontainable.
- who has chocolate stashed in her desk.
- who will stop and ask what are you reading.
- who would rather buy books than clothes or shoes.
- who won't share her favorite pens.
- who will always give students a pencil when they don't have one.
- who believes in the possible!
How are you THAT teacher?

Sounds like the perfect kind of teacher to me! Also, great slice format!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun list. I’d add: Yes, I’m that teacher who will turn you into a lover of poetry; I’m that teacher who will make you laugh when you feel like crying; I’m that teacher who advertises her acceptance of LGBTQI students and speaks openly about choosing our pronoun rather than defaulting to the binary “she/he” options; I’m that teacher who lets students speak on topics controversial in our conservative community and expect everyone to listen respectfully. I could go on. This is fun, and it makes me feel better than I was feeling before reading the post. 😊
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list, Leigh Anne! I will have to think about this one and perhaps notebook about it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great list. Teachers are not one dimensional. We are so many things. I am that teacher who guides you into becoming the best you can be.
ReplyDeleteI love this list. I will definitely be making one for myself. I can say that I am THAT teacher that hugs every Scholar and tells them I them before they leave for the day.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this so much! I may have to write one of these lists too.
ReplyDeleteYep. I was/am that teacher. Even now, I carry extra pencils and pens for kids, I book talk whatever I'm reading, I share food I carry with kids who need it. And chocolate? That's a given!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being THAT teacher.
ReplyDeleteI think I can say yes to all of these things!! And what a great thing to be THAT teacher. I'll have to try a list like this, too.
ReplyDelete"who would rather buy books than clothes or shoes" - so me. There were other things on the list too I was able to nod to. I have come to the conclusion that "never to be completed" is part of definition for TBR pile.
