In case you missed in your social media feed, it is National Teacher Appreciation Week. In usual times, the week is filled with flowers, coffee bars, chocolate, gifts, and lunches. (Always amazing, by the way!) In the midst of COVID-19, all that is impossible. What can you possibly do to make the teachers in your child’s life feel appreciated?
I will argue that you are still able to give the best gift of all. A heartfelt note of thanks. In this case, write the teacher an email. Thank her/him/them for the impact they have your child. Teachers love coffee, but they love hearing how their work impacts children. There is nothing better than to hear how your teaching has ignited passions or helped build self-worth! Your words are important to them, now more than ever.
