Teacher Appreciation Week

I love teachers!

In our family we've been blessed with mostly awesome teachers all along the educational journey. They've each been different in personalities and teaching styles, but my kids have learned from each one of them. This year my daughters have particularly GREAT teachers... if it were in my power I would give them both a substantial raise! J

Since it’s not within my power, I will have to settle on doing something special for them for Teacher Appreciation Week.  For those of you who don’t know, Teacher Appreciation Week is an actual federal day devoted to teachers.  This year Teacher Appreciate Week is May 6 – 10, 2013.

I will admit I haven’t been very good at this special week in the past.  I always have the best of intentions, but then the week sneaks up on me and I find the week is nearly over or past and I failed to recognize my kid’s teachers. L

This year I am vowing to do a better job and I know the key to making it happen is planning ahead, which is why I’m posting this blog entry so far in advance… I’m assuming there are others like me who don’t do well flying by the seat of their pants.

There are literally hundreds of gift ideas all over the internet… do a Google search of Teacher Appreciation Week.  But if your pockets are empty don’t despair, a handwritten note from you and your kiddo would be especially meaningful as well.

We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you

in our prayers.  (I Thessalonians 1:3)
