Need a gift for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 3-May 7)? The book Freedom Lessons paired with the items below are just the ticket. “Based on the author’s experience teaching in Louisiana in the late sixties, this heartfelt, unflinching novel about the unexpected effects of school integration during that time takes on the issues our nation currently faces regarding race, unity, and identity.” In this novel, teachers can feel inspired by the dedication, leadership, courage, and creativity of teachers at a difficult time in our country’s troubled history.
In the novel, elementary school teacher Colleen gets carpet squares donated for her classroom. Here is a modern version–carpet sit spots. These are great tools for preschool and elementary teachers to help with social distancing, organization, and classroom management. Buy this set of 30 for your favorite teacher as part of their literary care package.
Colleen’s mentor, Evelyn, bakes her a lemon cake with creamy lemon icing for her birthday. Spoil your favorite teacher by ordering her this incredible cake from Melissa’s Simply Sweet. Use the link to contact Melissa and order this Freedom Lessons Lemon Cake.
