A day to celebrate teachers

Today is World Teachers' Day. The UN created this day back in 1994 to draw attention to the vital role that teachers play in providing kids like these a quality education. The observation also highlights the obstacles that teachers face every day, particularly in challenging times like these.

Despite the massive disruptions to classrooms around the world because of the coronavirus pandemic, teachers everywhere have continued to work hard every day to encourage young people to learn and grow, and to think about the world around us. So, when these kindergartners are finished drawing, our hope is that they let their teachers know how appreciated they are! And we hope you can do something special for the teachers in your lives today, too.

庆祝教师节

今天是世界教师节。联合国早在1994年就设立了这一天，以提请人们注意教师在为这些孩子提供优质教育方面所起的重要作用。这项观察还突出了教师每天面临的障碍，特别是在这样一个充满挑战的时代。

尽管冠状病毒大流行对世界各地的教室造成了巨大的破坏，但各地的教师每天都在继续努力工作，鼓励年轻人学习和成长，并思考我们周围的世界。所以，当这些幼儿园的孩子们完成绘画时，我们希望他们能让他们的老师知道他们是多么的感激他们！我们也希望你们能在今天的生活中为老师们做些特别的事情。
