Know what's better than a Holiday Hoopla post? A Holiday Hoopla AND Service Skills post! World Teachers' Day gives us a chance to celebrate and serve those people who contribute everyday to making our world a better place - our teachers. Our club has started a new program to honor our teachers at our school sites where we choose a teacher of the month to say a special thank you to. Each site has the kids vote on who their teacher of the month is and we make them a card, give them some teacher-oriented goodies (office supplies!) along with a treat that the kids have made (things like snack mix, cookies, etc). It doesn't take a lot of money, but it means a lot to these teachers to be recognized from an outside organization.
So, what can you do if you want to celebrate World Teachers' Day but you're not ready to commit to having a monthly ongoing project? Why not take a platter of goodies to leave in the teachers' lounge with a nice card signed by all of your kids? Groups could also make personalized gift bags for the teachers in your school. Purchase small gift bags and fill them with teacher-friendly tidbits like sticky notes, pens, some hard candies or chocolates, and a gift card for a local coffee shop.
How do you celebrate the special teachers in your life? Do you do something special for teachers at your school sites? Let me know!
