Every year, Teacher Appreciation Week offers a precious opportunity to recognize the tireless dedication, boundless compassion, and profound impact of those who nurture and educate our youngest learners. From preschool to kindergarten and beyond, these educators serve as the guiding lights, shaping not just minds but also hearts in the crucial formative years of a child's life.

Early childhood educators play a pivotal role in laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Their influence extends far beyond teaching ABC鈥檚 as they foster social and emotional development, cultivate curiosity, and instill a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. They create safe, nurturing environments where children feel valued, respected, and empowered to explore and discover the world around them.

This special week offers an opportunity for parents, students, administrators, and communities to express gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable work of our early childhood educators. Whether it's a heartfelt note, a small gift, or a simple thank you, every gesture counts in recognizing the dedication these educators bring to their classrooms each day. By supporting and valuing early childhood educators, we invest in the future of our children and our society as a whole.

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, let us take a moment to honor the unsung heroes who play a vital role in shaping the next generation. Their passion and unwavering commitment to the well-being and success of every child deserves our utmost recognition and gratitude.

I want to express my鈥痬ost profound appreciation for the beautiful job, valuable lessons, and dedication our 澳门天天好彩开奖 teachers do daily with our children! I am thankful for their professionalism, commitment, patience, and flexibility. 鈥�

I appreciate their patience with unforeseen circumstances and willingness to intentionally plan and conduct fun interactions in the classroom and to try new ideas, activities, and strategies.鈥� 鈥�鈥�

It makes me smile when I walk by or into one of our鈥痗lassrooms and I see how it鈥檚鈥痓een transformed to provide a supportive environment for children鈥檚 language and education to flourish. Everything that they do is greatly appreciated as it takes a particular person to be a teacher to shape our little one鈥檚 brains.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our children and families.

Sincerely,

Heriberto Velasquez

Conclusion of Teacher Nutrition Classes

The past few months our teachers at 澳门天天好彩开奖 Upshur have been participating in our Growing Healthy Habits from Childhood workshop with our Food and Wellness team. They have been able to learn new, tasty recipes and all about healthy foods and habits.

They recently had their final class and were able to put into practice what they had learned and created some delicious recipes that they can now do in the comfort of their own homes!

One of 澳门天天好彩开奖鈥檚 wonderful partnerships has been with our friends at Field School. What started almost 10 years ago has become a great way for 6th graders to interact with our early learners and our students to make impactful friendships with those who visit their classrooms.

Ms. Karin, Spanish teacher and Chair of the Language Department at Field School currently leads this tradition.

Read below to learn about her perspective and how their visits to 澳门天天好彩开奖 Columbia Road has created an important impact to her students.

For the past 8 years, it's been a tradition for Field School's 6th-grade students to visit 澳门天天好彩开奖. It all started when Ermira Elmazaj, our French teacher and former Department Chair, came up with the idea to introduce our new students to the center. Since then, she's led these visits every year, except for the break during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Studio R.O.C.K.S. program has been a beacon of hope for countless children, providing a safe and nurturing environment out-of-school for nearly 36 years. With your support, we can continue to offer enriching activities, mentorship, and educational opportunities that empower our students like Iker.

Iker, a seven-year-old, is a cherished participant in Studio R.O.C.K.S at 澳门天天好彩开奖. Studio R.O.C.K.S is a comprehensive before and after school program committed to delivering top-notch education to children from low-income backgrounds through various art forms and STEM activities, all within a nurturing and secure environment. Iker, who has been part of the program since kindergarten, has thrived under its guidance, soaking up knowledge and skills at every turn.

Norelia, Iker's mother, a single parent to four boys including Iker, faces the challenges of a demanding work schedule that spans from morning till evening. This leaves her unable to drop off or pick up Iker from school, during its operating hours. 澳门天天好彩开奖 and Studio R.O.C.K.S have been a godsend for Norelia, providing a vital respite from the stress of juggling work and childcare responsibilities. Knowing that Iker is in a safe and enriching environment brings her immense relief.
