Teacher’s Day

Schools in Turkey are big for celebrations and today was no exception.  This was a special day to honor all teachers.  Many students brought flowers or small gifts for their special teachers.  Jerry and I received a few flowers which was very rewarding.  The students and teachers put on a 90 minute program with dancing, music, and a slide show with baby pictures of some of the teachers which got the biggest applause.

I hope all our American friends have a great Thanksgiving.  We’ll be thinking of you eating your turkey and dressing.  Sounds good right now.   We’ll miss our annual trip to Casa Grande’s Cracker Barrel with Jerry’s brother and sister in law .  Don’t think we’ll find anything similar in Turkey.

  1. I am interested to hear how revered teachers are. That was true in the states at one time. I am grateful to your students and their families for taking good care of the two of you. It is Thursday afternoon here so the Thanksgiving thing is over for most of us. Now the Christmas push begins.
