Celebrating National Teacher Week!

5/5/2020 (Permalink)

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and with most schools closed because of COVID-19, we’ve all gotten a pretty clear glimpse into “a day in the life” of a teacher. And it’s safe to say we have found greater appreciation for teachers as we’ve seen just how much they do and how their passion to help students learn and grow has spilled over into virtual classrooms.

It’s in these challenging times that we truly recognize and appreciate how our nation’s educators play such a pivotal role in our children’s lives—inspiring a lifelong love of learning and discovery and making a difference in their well-being and long-term success. 

Here a few fun ideas to thank our teachers for their immense work and positive impact while social distancing:

1. Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day—and when we think about all that they are doing for our kids, it moves us beyond words, so we need emojis to say how we feel. Get emoji-tional and share how you love, celebrate, and care for our teachers on social media. And use #ThankATeacher on your posts.

2. Take a picture of your child learning from home and send it to their teacher. 

3. Make a video about why your child and family are thankful for your teacher and send it to your teacher.

4. Get on TikTok and show your teachers how you and your family are learning together during COVID-19. Get creative with it! You can sing Montell Jordan’s hit song, “This is How We Do it” and make sure you use #AlwaysLearning in your post!

Have fun with celebrating some of the most wonderful role models in our children's lives.
