When teaching is your life, you find yourself assuming that everyone needs things explained in detail..along with demonstrations. I am the worst at this! I will be trying to tell my husband something and I'll find myself breaking down the directions one by one....even taking over to model what needs to be done. Usually he looks at me with a certain look (yeah, if you're a teacher you know the look I'm talking about) and reminds me he's not one of my students :0)
I've even caught myself (on quite a few occasions) doing the same thing with other teachers. Sorry - it's just ingrained at this point!!! :0)
There are a million things that ONLY other teachers understand....

I will comment instead of blogging.... You know you're a teacher when you volunteer in your children's kindergarten class on weekly whims and your youngest (twins) are now in second grade. I'm feeling the desire to get back. Yeah!
Nevermind! I figured it out! :)

Thanks for making this a linky. I really enjoyed thinking of some to create.
Thanks for joining Wolfelicious!!! and yep Yolanda - that's a teacher.... Actually one of my best friends (who had taken a year off) has been helping in my class since October.....she couldn't stand being out of the classroom!
You know you're a teacher when you can eat a meal in 5 minutes and hold your bladder for 8 hours straight.

Haha! I love your list, especially over-explaining everything! My boyfriend always tells me that he's not a 6 year old. :)
Marvelous Multiagers!
You kknow you're a teacher when you find paper clips, reward tickets and other stuff in your pockets.
It is amazing all the things we can come up with...... Teaching certainly is a culture onto its own!!!! :0)
I enjoyed this soo much that I dedicated a post on my blog too! Thank you SO much for the laughs!

This is great! You know you're a teacher when you have a 40 minute lunch but you're done eating in only 10 minutes.

How do I join the party? I created mine and posted it to my blog, then pinned in on Pinterest, but do not know how to get it to show up on your board. Thank you! :)

What a cute idea for a linky party- I've been cracking up all weekend! Thanks for hosting!!!!!! :-)
I already posted on my blog this morning about something else, but HAD to make a second post today to join the fun. :) I followed the pinterest board, but wasn't sure how to get mine on it also.

I'm so glad you like it - I have had an absolute BALL the last couple days doing this!!!
Super cute idea girl!
Can't figure out how to make the pinterest button, so here is mine! Fun, fun idea!
You know you are a teacher when you ask adults if the want a snack!
Drives my hubby to laughter!
Lori - I put you on the collaborative board - did you look under "You Know You're a Teacher When...." It should show under your boards.

I am feeling a bit clueless right now..how do I edit the button above to add my text?
OMG, those are all hilarious...and all describe me...at least I am now one of many, lol.
...following you :)
Great idea with this linky party! It was way too easy to finish this thought - I could have come up with several more! I love your over explaining one - my sister and boyfriend tell me I have a "teacher tone" of voice I sometimes use, and they like to remind me that THEY are not third graders! :)
Happy Valentine's Week!

I'm in the process of creating my blog, but You know You Are A Teacher When: You can't walk into your local Walmart (or any store) and not hear your name being called, or have a parent want to have a conference with you. My hubby swears he is going to buy me a mask as a disguise so I don't have to constantly be stopped or hugged on.
This was a lot of fun!! Thanks for hosting such a fun linky party! I enjoyed thinking of some fun things. I'm a new follower! :) I'm having a linky party too, not nearly as fun as yours, but feel free to stop by and join!
