Summer’s dwindling lazily to fall, and soon school will be back in session. As I write this post, teachers across the nation are working in their classrooms to prepare for the coming school year.
As a former teacher, trust me when I say they are hard at work. They are moving furniture, creating cute bulletin boards, examining student records, looking at curriculum updates, planning instruction for the coming days, attending workshops to make sure their credentials are up to date, and SO MUCH more!
Then, in just a few days or weeks, they’ll welcome our babies into their classroom and heart for the coming year. I could literally write an entire post about the struggles of teachers these days but chances are you’ve encountered that narrative on your social feeds already and know it’s true.
Heroes don’t wear capes these days. They walk among us disguised as everyday people, roaming the halls of your local school.
So if anyone deserves a gift, it’s a teacher.
I love to start the school year with a sweet back to school teacher gift to remind our teachers how much we truly appreciate them.
