Classic (24 + free space)
A student asks a question you just answered 30 seconds ago
Finding a random, unidentifiable sticky object on a desk
"Is this going to be graded?"
A staff meeting that absolutely could have been an email
Losing your favorite pen
A student calls you "Mom" or "Dad" by accident
Fixing the paper jam in the copy machine
"I don't have a pencil"
Drinking cold coffee that you poured 4 hours ago
A parent emails you on the weekend
A fire drill right in the middle of your best lesson
Someone brings donuts or treats to the breakroom
★
Catching a student on their phone
A student asks to go to the bathroom 5 minutes after arriving
Finding a half-eaten snack in a weird place
Having to repeat the directions for the 4th time
Staying 2 hours late to grade papers
An unexpected, unannounced assembly
"What did we do yesterday? I was absent."
The internet or smartboard goes down
Having to use your "Teacher Voice"
A kid tattling on another kid for something incredibly minor
Doing a silent countdown on your fingers
Counting down the days until the next break
