May 4 - 8 is Teacher Appreciation Week! October 5 is International Teachers Day!

Every day is a good day to honor a good teacher. AGREE? There are many days during the year dedicated to teacher appreciation. Pick one. Pick all!

Days set aside to honor teachers: 
May 3rd is National Teacher Appreciation Day; and in fact, each year an entire week of this month is devoted to teacher appreciation.  

For 2020, May 4 - 8 is Teacher Appreciation Week.

World Teachers’ Day, also known as International Teachers Day, is held annually on October 5 since 1994, commemorates teacher organizations worldwide.

You can’t put a price tag on an excellent teacher that inspires you to achieve excellence. 

You can’t even say they are worth their weight in gold times 10 bazillion because that estimate would be far too low. I can’t speak for others but as for me, all of my teachers were a blessing and to this day, I am reaping the benefits from the education they gave me.

Sharing links to some of my old blog posts and articles which addressed the topic of education or teachers as my way of giving teachers all around a “digital hug”.

From DIE-ary to Diary and Beyond!

One of my daughters recounts her 7th-grade experience with teachers. At least they cared enough to notice she was there. 


Unstoppable Me!: 10 Ways to Soar Through Life by Wayne Dyer

A teacher for another one of my daughters recommended this book by Dr. Dyer, when she was in elementary school. It’s a cute poem that helps build a child’s self-esteem. It’s a good book if for no other reason than it uses the words “unstoppable” and “soar” in the title. 🙂 Published a review via HUBPages.

 This article was published via HubPages and also featured at ManyStories.com.  It's about building self-esteem in children.  Teachers know all too well how important it is.

This final link share is not mine but if we’re going to talk teacher we can not overlook the importance of the impact technology has on our education system.

During my childhood, the essentials to prepare you for life used to be the 3 Rs – reading, writing, and arithmetic. 

Now there are 3 Rs and 2 Cs. “C” for Coding and the other “C” for Cyber Security. No point denying it or ignoring it.

These are necessary skills that should be taught as a part of the educational curriculum for preparing a child to become a productive member of society and the workforce.

Ancient History : People and Places : Nimrod and the ‘Gate of God’

If you come from a Judaeo-Christian background, then you might be familiar with the story of Babel because you were probably taught about it as a child. If you are unfamiliar with the biblical account, it tells of the time when everyone on earth all spoke the same language but God confused the languages. Why? Because there was a king who was trying to build a tower to reach heaven, where God lives. 
This ambitious and over-reaching endeavor was displeasing and as a punishment, God confused the languages of the people. This lack of communication prevented the laborers from working together and completing the building project. The unfinished structure is often referred to as the tower of Babel and symbolizes human pride and rebellion. The entire account of this event is all of nine (9) verses. You can read it in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 11, verses 1 through 9.



If you believe that Babel existed, then you might also believe that there was a king who angered God.
Now about that king. What was his name?
NIMROD
Scholars are in disagreement as to the identity of Nimrod. Some say he was Sargon the Great. Others say he was an Assyrian king, Tukulti-Ninurta I. Others speculate that he could have been Amenophis III, an Egyptian leader. Yet another group believes that he was Merodach-Baladan, a man who insisted on being king of Babylon, however, he never achieved his ambition.
The biblical record identifies Nimrod as the son of Cush, the grandson of Ham, and the great-grandson of Noah. He is described as “mighty” in two instances: “a mighty one on the earth” and “the mighty hunter before the Lord”. Furthermore, the Bible account states: “And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.”  Shinar, the land of Southern Mesopotamia, became known as Babylonia.
