3) Pick up posters off the floor that have fallen off the wall & stick them back up. #teacherproblems

I think I may have a whiteboard marker hoarding problem. I found three in my handbag, two in my pencil case and one in my pocket. I’m also positive there’s three on my desk at home. #teacherproblems #StrathPGDE

Today, I had a student smell my knees. First one, then the other. It made me super self conscious. Do my knees smell okay? Are smelly knees a thing? Do they smell from kneeling in the hall working on that mural? I have so many questions! ??♀️#tweetablekids #teacherproblems
