Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🙂 This entire week is about celebrating ALL OF YOU!
I appreciate all that you do to prepare meaningful learning opportunities for your students each day, but what I appreciate the most is the safe, welcoming, nurturing learning environments that you have established for our Kubbies who LOVE coming to school each day.

I hope you know how much I enjoy working with each of you & how proud I am to be your colleague. Thank you for all you do here at Kennedy School. You are appreciated today & everyday.

**In honor of teacher appreciation week, SoulPancake & Edutopia asked teachers to write a letter to themselves on their first day teaching. If you wrote a letter to yourself on your first day teaching, what would it say?

“….so keep up the great work, seek help from those around you & just know that the work of a teacher is of the greatest importance.” #teachersmatter
