It’s teacher appreciation week. Both of my sons’ schools are treating the teachers this week with various well-deserved treats. Thank you Ms. Scott and Ms. Wells at Langdon EC and thank you Ms. Harris, Ms. Ingram, and Yi Laoshi at Yu Ying PCS!

My fifth grade teacher, Mr. Wyndika, inflated a gigantic star lab in our classroom that he set up during our unit on astronomy. As a class, we spent many hours laying on the floor identifying the various constellations and stars. I aced the unit exam. He had so many other engaging activities and had a very encouraging way of teaching. Mr. Wyndika, wherever you are, thank you for being a great teacher!

Is there a teacher you’d like to thank?
