Teacher appreciation

 A lot of kids have gone back to school already. Some go this week. Some have another week or so.

I now have so much more appreciation for teachers. Every year there has been new things I’ve learned that they do that has me in awe. First with remote learning and how difficult that was just for my kids but the lengths the teachers went was so amazing. And how quickly they adapted to the new norm.

Fast forward to last year when I started working at a daycare. Man! That can be so exhausting. Towards the end of the year I took over the preschool class and was actually teaching more. I am definitely not a teacher but I am a mom so that definitely helped. A lot of work and planning went into it. I’m so thankful for the people who have the great ideas and put them on Pinterest.

Here we are at the start of a new school year. I had the whole summer off. I know it will be my last here before moving again. So I know this is short lived. But I have been busting my butt with my co-lead teacher in preparation for this first week of school. Printing curriculum, classroom setup, logistics, schedules, organizing closets, and cabinets.

I accidentally revealed to everyone that I’m an organizer and I’ve been tasked with such things already. It’s been insane but I’m glad I can help others not be so stressed. I am exhausted!!
I’m not even teaching the hard stuff like “real” teachers!

Shout out to all the teachers that I know. As well as the rest of them. This is no easy job. They should be getting paid way more!

Get your kids teacher a little something today. I guarantee they need it already.
