Sunday Sweets For American Education Week
November 13, 2016 For American Education Week, I want to talk to all the people who help our kids grow and learn and eventually figure out the difference between "its" and "it's."
Dear Educators,
I think this cookie says it all:

But of course I still have more to say.
You're there before the buses arrive, and long after they leave.

(By Joyful Delights)
How do you do it?

Oh. Right.
Is that why people give you so many mugs?
You teach Art,

...the Arts,

...and bring music to our ears.

Except maybe during hour 3 of practice, when the rest of the family's trying to watch Doctor Who.
But still.
Without you, people couldn't read and appreciate this very blog!

And... um... other great literature.
You teach ALL the math.

Which I promise we DO use after we graduate.
(Sometimes we just takes shortcuts.)
You show us our place in history,
;)

...and our place in the world.

Then you help us understand the people in it.
;)
Magnifique!
For all these reasons and so many more:

OMG that last one made me squeee :D
First time ever a Cakewrecks post made me cry. (Well, except cry from laughing, but that's different.)
Oh...! All are very beautiful! I think, however, that my favorite has to be the spirally white one with the violin...
I saw it, and I swear I could HEAR a violin piece that I love. It isn't every day that one can hear music, and feel movement, from a cake!!
=^~.~^=
Thanks for including the staff. We are the nurses 4 days of the week, we help with homework, lost items, copying and much more.
Great collection of cakes! As someone with family members who are or were teachers and as someone who works at a school district, I appreciate teachers and staff, and I'm always happy with other people do, too.
I love the tower of books, but I love even more that it doesn't have a potter book in it.
They still managed to mess up the top of that last cake. This IS Cakewrecks, after all.
I know I was never your teacher, but I'm glad somewhere along the way you learned the difference between buses and busses! Not many people know that, so you get an A+ from this old teacher!
I love this post, except that you missed the same areas that everyone forgets in education: Science, Career & Technical Education, and the World Languages. As a high school science teacher, I can tell you that not all of us live off of coffee, some of us live off of soda, sugar, and laughter from blogs like this.
How badly do I want the cake inside the Starbucks cup to be coffee-flavored? Very badly. Please, let it be.
Also love the topsy-turvy art cake just below it, but not sure how to approach it when it's time to eat. Start nibbling the colored pencils and work your way down?
Loved this and did tear up when I saw the globe with statement " our place in the world". Made me think of all the wonderful times teaching our classes the " Explorer" unit. Took our kids on amazing adventures exploring our world. Thanks for making me happier today Sharyn!!
My mother had that exact same calculator, I loved playing with it. And king tut! Oh my king tut! I painted you onto the wall at school for art class in 7th grade.
As a some-times History teacher, and the daughter of an English teacher, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now, please pass a fork and a plate.
That tower of books is one of the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen. This teacher thanks you.
I was bracing myself for ironic misspellings on the cookie cake and then feeling puzzled when I didn't see any. Then I remembered it's Sunday.
thanks, from a teacher. love your site!
I don't usually comment on Sundays, but that stack of books cake made me tear up. As a special-needs mom, I read bedtime stories to my girls long past the usual age. I've read that EXACT edition of the Narnia Chronicles, Inkheart (as well as Inkspell & Inkdeath), & Charlotte's Web. If you really want a challenge, try reading that last with voices--almost every character doesn't normally talk. So figure out what pigs, spiders, rats & other associated animals sound like AAAAAND make them all different! My voice was hoarse by the time we finished that one!
Does anyone recognize the book in the stack below Inkheart? I can read all the titles but that red one! :)
Last one isn't messed up. It's obviously the child's writing and drawing.
Sharyn, these cakes are fabulous; you made my day! Now I have to go finish grading papers. ;)
@K.Michelle: This is late-just saw it, but I was thinking a very-doubtful maybe, but possibly "Brave New World"???
Now it's driving ME crazy...! :-O
