Last year, ASCD posted this fabulous list for teachers. Because only teachers understand why we are truly thankful for these things, I’m sharing this post with you…
Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and feasting with family, friends, and loved ones. We hope you have the feasting part covered, because we’re here to help you reflect on the top 10 things teachers may be thankful for.
- Bathroom breaks. Add lunch breaks for that matter.
- Coffee. Three cups before noon isn’t normal?
- Alarms. Let’s face it: no one should ever wake up that early naturally.
- Holiday break. Thank you, Thanksgiving!
- Substitute teachers. But who are we kidding? We spend all day worrying anyway.
- Snow days. Let’s hope they don’t start cutting into summer vacation, though.
- Supply donations. Kleenex and construction paper and disinfectant wipes! Oh, my!
- Naps. Just kidding! Who has time for naps? MUST. GRADE. PAPERS.
- Coworkers. No one else will ever understand.
- Students. They make it all worth it, and who would we really be without them?
From everyone at Pepper, we hope you enjoy your holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!
