When you teach 3rd Grade...

• You wear reindeer pajamas to school for pajama spirit day.
• Your kids tell you that it isn't Christmas anymore so you should have worn non-reindeer pajamas.
• You wear reindeer pajamas to the grocery store because you need cupcake liners.
• You feel self conscious about wearing reindeer pajamas to the grocery store.
• You zip up an orange coat while Student K is crying so hard she starts to hyperventilate.
• You back away as Student A comes running up to you saying, "Miss C! I threw up this morning!"
• You smile inside as you notice that the entire class is entranced by the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
• You think that is it Friday when it is only Thursday because Thursday was a half day and there is no school (for kids) on Friday.
• You have to sit through a 6 hour grad class on Friday.
