It’s hard to believe that a teacher can go through so many emotions in just one day. But, it really can feel like you’ve run a marathon! So, we decided to try and replicate a typical school day through the use of some of the main characters seen in the hilarious show – Schitt’s Creek! We hope it brings a smile to your face, and reminds you that you are all amazing humans in our eyes!
Positive Affirmations
Teachers giving themselves some positive affirmations before the start of the day. You’ve got this…
Oh, the Excitement!
When you find out a relief teacher is coming into your class and giving you some extra non-contact time! You literally can’t contain your excitement…
First Break Feels
You have finally made it through the morning, it hasn’t quite gone to plan and you head to the staffroom for a break…
Wet Shoelaces!!!
When a child asks you to tie their shoelace – but it’s wet… and it’s not raining outside!
It’s Computer Time!
After spending your whole 30-minute computer lesson time getting your students signed into the computer.
Surprise Visitor
It’s the end of maths rotation time, the classroom is an absolute mess, kids are noisy (but still learning) and your Principal pays you a visit…
The Stories
When a child puts up their hand during a sentence structure lesson and tells you a story about their neighbour’s three-legged cat.
True Story
When a student asks you if Santa, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy are real…
Meeting Time
When admin sends out an email introducing another meeting.. and you’re trying to remain positive!
But you really want to say this…
Teach Starter to the Rescue
When you need a last-minute time filler activity and jump on the Teach Starter website!
Bodily Fluids!
When you are all sitting on the carpet and a child sneezes and what comes out of their nose is not clear!

End of the Day
At the end of the day. you go into your teaching partner’s classroom and say…
Time to go Home!
Finally, you’re heading home…
Hilarious but very true
You're right there Sapna! Glad you enjoyed reading this blog.
Very true- my day- every day
I'm so glad it's relatable! Hope you have a great day!
So good!!!! I said no to tying shoelaces only this week!! My first mentor warned me about that :)
Hi Fiona, It sounds like you were given some sage-like advice at the right time... not all of us were so lucky!
Love it!
Thanks, Mel! We're glad you enjoyed it!
Loved all of these! Thank you so much for the laugh - how did you know what goes on in my classroom?
Thanks for your feedback, Kerry! I think most of us teachers can relate to the 'events' listed in the blog... so don't worry, we're not watching! :)
