Raise your hand for Teacher Appreciation Day

At some point during the year, most countries will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day, because who doesn’t appreciate the teachers in our lives? In the United States, we’re celebrating on this day. In fact, today’s party is part of Teacher Appreciation Week, a chance to honor those who dedicate their lives to shaping our minds, young and old, and encouraging us to explore and think about the world around us. What did your favorite teacher help you learn?
