Teacher Appreciation Week (TAW)

So today was the first day of our TAW. We have an amazing PTA that wants to make sure we are pampered this week. They have some pretty great things in store for us this week. Our theme is a country/western theme "Our Teachers are the Best in the West." Cute, huh?! Each teacher has a "Wanted" sign by their door that their room parents made. Look how cute (well, without my big mug!) my poster turned out! I have a beach-themed classroom, hence the "Beach Babe Boss" comment.

I just had to include this pic too. Today during Computers, the computer specialist teacher had each of my students write a letter to me. This one was priceless. I know it's really light and hard to see, so I'll translate it for you.


dear mrs jurkatis.
you are the beast teacher ever.
I like you.
you are cool.


I've been called a lot of things before, but never a beast -- LOL! This just made my day today!
