the box: teacher care crate (November crate is already sold out)
I don’t even know where to begin… but if you haven’t ordered a Teacher Care Crate, it’s 100% WORTH IT. The Teacher Care Create was developed by the amazingly talented Sarah from The Designer Teacher.
I asked Sarah what inspired her to start this care crate– “Having experienced burnout myself, I’ve become super passionate about self care for teachers. My friend Tamara of @mrsrussellsroom actually suggested the idea of a subscription box to me last winter. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and ended up coming up with my first box in 2018.”
Before this year had officially started, I was questioning my ability to make it through this year. Sometimes the thought still creeps up but as soon as I see my students grumpy little faces, it all changes.
Teachers– we deal with so much crap on a daily basis. Some of us are treated so poorly, yet we devote so much of our life to the cause. For me, I don’t need positive reinforcement about how I’m doing, the only thing I need is for my voice to matter. I don’t ask for much but the times I do, when I truly feel like I need some support and help, it goes heard, but with no action.
Our world needs to do a better job at appreciating our job, our hard work, our needs, and our students needs. Sarah’s idea and care crate is a wonderful little reminder that we matter and we have to take care of ourselves, too. Especially if we want to change the world while avoiding burnout.
