Teacher Appreciation Week is upon us and that means flowers,
luncheons, cards, and goodies in the teacher’s room. Students, parents, and administrators are
happy to recognize the many hours of hard work and unwavering dedication of the
teachers in their district. Receiving
these accolades is certainly a wonderful feeling, but I would like to use this
space to share some of the things that I appreciate about the job I love doing
each and every day.
Ten Things I Appreciate as a Teacher

Hi Gino, Great post. I would personally add learning something new from a student and developing the curiosity, perseverance, and stamina for students to delve deeper in their investigations and passions.
