Happy Teacher's Day!

Tomorrow (Saturday) is Teacher's Day here in Ecuador. Teacher's Day is exactly what it sounds like--a day to celebrate your teachers and, if you're a really awesome student, bring them something to show them just how much you appreciate them.

Since I'm a brand new teacher here in Ecuador and since I teach at a community school and not in a traditional school setting, I wasn't expecting any displays of "teacher love" this week. But this morning, much to my surprise, my class brought me a cake to mark the occasion! (It's a good thing I waited to give them back their midterms on Monday, otherwise the affectionate feelings may have dissipated.)

So Happy Teacher's Day to all of you teachers out there, whether you're in Ecuador or not! Know that your students really do appreciate you, even if they don't always show it.

Chau!

  1. Wow, well you've got some fashionable and hip students....they all look like they just fell out of an abercrombie promo ad.
