We will kick off the festivities for the week on Monday (May 2nd) by having every child bring a flower to present to their teacher at the morning assembly. Your room representative will have other information and ideas about how you and your child may celebrate the dedicated teachers and staff of Mt. Washington Elementary. This week is a great opportunity to teach our children the importance of gratitude and saying thank you to the wonderful teachers and staff who touch our children’s lives on a daily basis. Perhaps talk to your child this week about gratitude and see if he/she has some ideas about what they'd like to do to show their teacher their appreciation. The more involved we can get our children, the more meaningful it becomes.
Some quick ideas on what you and your child can do:
Write a thank you note or letter.
Bring or make your teacher lunch or a healthy snack one day and bring it in the morning.
Treat them to a cup of coffee or tea from their favorite coffee house.
Get together with several other parents and create a take home dinner so they don’t have to cook that night. Include a soup or salad, a main course, a side dish and a desert.
Anything that you and your child can think of to make the week special for them are the types of things this week is all about.
