1. Matching everything, from the stapler to the tape dispenser, all the brightest colors I can find.

2. I have everything I need, not exactly in the right place, but it’s there.

3. WHERE ARE ALL MY DRY ERASE MARKERS?!?!?!

1. The Dictator: I spend most of my time talking in front of the class and beating facts into their heads.

2. The Innovator: I like to try new things, but I’ve got a solid repertoire of lessons I can whip out at any moment.

3. The Floater: Floating is a good word for hopefully everything goes right. “I Googled this worksheet on the commute to school today.”

1. I am strict: There isn’t a light-up shoe out of line when we walk down the hallway.

2. I am fair: There is a lot of student ownership. They know what I want, but I must remind them every now and then.

3. I herd cats: I just hope they all made it to Art class okay, today. I stopped counting at 10.

1. We use a lot of technology in my classroom. I’m a Canvas superstar.

2. I’ve killed a few trees with the number of worksheets and projects I hand out.

3. You can find my hands-on activities on TpT. My classroom is a dream.

1. I meal prep. everything has its own Tupperware container.

2. I eat my leftover pizza or a chicken sandwich with whatever they call these smiley fries, as fast as I can.

3. Lunch?!? Who has time for that!

1. It’s presentable. You can tell I tidy at the end of each day.

2. It’s a work station. Not as messy as little Johnny’s handwriting, but close.

3. A bomb went off and it will look like this until May.

1. Coffee. I can’t find a bottomless cup.

2. Water. My fun Nalgene has fitness stickers all over it.

3. Big Gulp. Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, you name it. And I have a 2 liter in my desk to fill at 10am.

1. You best believe they match my outfit and you will admire them as I walk by.

2. I choose comfy over chic. I move around way too much to worry about style.

3. I had to look down to even remember because that’s the least of my worries!

1. Classical. They need the brain music and the calming effect.

2. I listen to just about anything that fits the theme of the day.

3. None. They couldn’t hear it anyway over me shouting, “I need you to be QUIET!”

1. I’m the tech wiz, but I don’t get paid for it. I can figure out just about anything.

2. I love laminator.

3. I find myself with my eyes shut, fingers crossed, saying, “Please work, please work, please work.” About 10 times a day.
