Thank you!
I know the work you do is exhausting. I know by Friday you are ready for a couple hours of rest while you lesson plan, search for great ways to engage your students, and collaborate with other teachers on what the next week will look like in addition to writing assessments to identify if your students are understanding the content or not.
You really are educational superheroes, and I love learning from you. You make me a better educator and person. Thank you for allowing me into your work lives. I wake up everyday excited to come to work because I get to work with you! Thank you for that amazing gift!
