Teacher Appreciation Week: How To Thank a Teacher Today in Five Minutes or Less
Can’t bring a side dish for the PTA Staff Appreciation Lunch? It’s OK. It doesn’t have to be during Teacher Appreciation Week, and it definitely should not be ONLY for Teacher Appreciation Week.
I realize not every teacher seems to be getting through to your kids, or maybe they seem to be hanging on until retirement. But they show up every day, and so we need to show up for them. Here are five easy ways you can thank a teacher—in less than 5 minutes.
A New TWIST on the Classic Visual Timer
All it takes is a quick twist to set the new Time Timer TWIST ®! Portable, magnetic and sporting a digital display, this new update on the classic Time Timer is great for kids and adults. Just turn the outer ring to set your desired time, and then push the play button—it’s that simple. The easy-to-read digital display shows at a glance how much time remains, as the digital tick marks disappear.
The 90-minute duration is perfect for school, home, or office, and the magnetic back makes the Time Timer TWIST easy to display—it sticks on everything from refrigerators to file cabinets to white boards. Like all Time Timer devices, it’s silent and unobtrusive, with an alert sound when time is up. And at just over 3 inches in diameter, it’s extremely portable and easy to take anywhere you go!
Use it in the classroom to time tests, group activities, and turn-taking exercises, or help keep students with special needs on task. Use it in the office to keep track of presentations and team-building exercises. At home, keep morning and bedtime routines on track, or time homework and instrument practice. The Time Timer TWIST even makes a great kitchen timer!
You’ve trusted the original Time Timer to help keep you on track and on time. Now the Time Timer TWIST provides a new way to enjoy the same reliable visual time management resource. And the low price means you can keep more than one on hand, for any time you need to make everyday tasks easier and more productive.
