This week the nation is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. We encourage you to reach out to your educational facilitator (EF) or teachers and take some time to thank them for all of their support and encouragement they have given you this year. Here are some ways to celebrate your educational facilitator:
- Send a handwritten note or ecard to say what you appreciate about them.
- Write a poem for your EF on what you’ve learned this year or why you’re thankful they are your EF.
- Draw a picture or complete a piece of artwork to send to your EF to enjoy.
- Make a video explaining how much you appreciate your EF and send it to them.
- Create a fun newspaper article about how great your EF is and share with them.
- Send your EF a gift card for either school supplies or self-care items.
- If you live close to your EF, bake a treat and drop it off.
- Send your EF flowers or a plant to brighten their day.
- Write a note of gratitude.
