the end of teacher appreciation week

Today is the last day of a week full of celebrations. Teacher Appreciation Week is ending and we all had a very special week.

Everyone did their best to express their gratefulness and appreciation towards their favourite teachers and we all made a beautiful week out of it. We will remember this week for a long time. From Monday until Friday, students all over the US surprised their teachers with gifts, songs, performances and “thank you’s”, With Tuesday 4th of April as the absolute highlight.

Teachers are recharged and motivated to give there best for a whole new year. We showed the appreciation that they needed and deserved and now we can go back to giving them headaches and sleepless nights which they will gladly accept. Because they treat us as their children and this week, we have shown that we treat them as our second parents.

So let’s already think about how we are going to surprise our teacher next year, because I know that they will keep on doing the great job that they have done in the past years.That’s why I want to end this week in the best possible way.

A couple of weeks ago, I received this e-mail of a person called Brian Asselin and he told me the following story:
“My name is Brian Asselin, I am a musician living in the Ottawa (Canada) area currently finishing up my education degree at Ottawa University. I came across your website and thought I might drop you a line because I feel one of the biggest reasons why I have chosen to be a teacher myself is because of the continual support I received from my teachers of the past. In fact, I wrote a song dedicated to those teachers who continue to inspire us everyday.”

He also gave me a link to the song and this is the AMAZING result: enjoy

I couldn’t imagine a better closure of a great week filled with joy.
