Principal ponderings...
I am sorry to be missing Teacher Appreciation Week. I hope the PTA makes sure to treat you extra special this week. And I hope that your students and parents find ways to share their appreciation with you all week.
I hope you know that I appreciate each of you this week. But more importantly, I appreciate you every day of the year besides this week. I appreciate you on the Friday afternoons before vacation weeks. I appreciate you on the Mondayest Mondays. I appreciate you on the days that caffeine helps you get through after worrying about students kept you up all night. I appreciate you on the days when you have an awesome lesson win and on the days when you have epic lesson fails. Thank you for today and all the days that came before and all the days that will follow until the last day of school.
As Josh Funk, the author, said so perfectly in a tweet...
It’s #TeacherAppreciationWeek - but if you’re not appreciating your teachers EVERY week, you’re doing it wrong.

While recovering, I have had time to do some reading. I loved reading Dear Student by Elly Swartz. She is a MA author, and I have had a chance to connect with her through Twitter. She would be a great author to bring to the school next year.
