When I first walked in to my son’s elementary school library, I expected to see shelves of books and a chart about the Dewey Decimal System. What I found was so much more. I saw Kindergartners testing speed with pulleys and ramps, 3rd graders writing code and 5th graders building simple machines. In a school of 500 racially and economically diverse kids, I saw children being inspired through creative uses of technology and hands-on learning.

What teacher has inspired you or a child you know? Tell us below and you can win two $50 Amazon gift cards: one for a teacher of your choice and one for you to keep!

Though budgets have been cut and school librarians have been fired, I am thankful to librarian Mrs. Latimer for going above and beyond to engage these kids with an active place of learning and exploration.  

We know that Mrs. Latimer is just one of the many amazing teachers out there. There are English teachers who foster love of reading, math teachers who make word problems understandable and science teachers who explain the wonders of the world. So many teachers who show children that their life's possibilities are endless.

We wish we could thank them all.

This Teacher Appreciation Week (May 2-6), please join us in showing our teachers how wonderful they are. Nominate your favorite teacher and tell us why he or she has inspired you or a child you know. One lucky winner will receive a $50 Amazon gift card for a teacher of their choice and another $50 Amazon gift card to keep.

There are two ways to enter:

Simply comment below to tell us the name of your favorite teacher and why he or she is so amazing.

AND/OR:

Tweet about the giveaway: Make sure to include the name of a teacher who inspired you or someone you know!

Click here to Tweet: "Thx to my fave teacher: Ms./Mr.____ on #TeacherAppreciationDay! Entering the @SheSpeaksUp giveaway! bit.ly/1SXAmnL"

*One lucky commenter or Tweeter will be chosen at random to receive a $50 Amazon gift card. SheSpeaks will also send a $50 Amazon gift card to a teacher of the winner's choice. Winner must provide an email address or mailing address for the teacher so that SheSpeaks can send the gift card directly to him or her. Giveaway is open through May 8th, 2016 to U.S. residents at least 18 years of age. Entrants must be a member of SheSpeaks. If you are not a member, click here to join.

Mrs Applewhite...she took a little girl places when she gave her the gift of reading and early math skills. That lucky little girl was my daughter! I am so grateful to her!

My favorite teacher right now is Mrs Hendershot. She is my grandson's preschool teacher, she makes him feel safe and has encouraged him to come out of his shell. He was so shy when he started, now he is so confident.

My favorite teacher in high school was Mrs. Sheldon. She was so positive and encouraging, which were really important for teaching a class subject that I really struggled in! She never gave up on me, and I appreciated that so much.

My favorite teacher was Mrs. Joyce who taught English. She inspired me to do my best and always strive for more.

A teacher at a local preschool heard screaming from another room. Upon running down there, she saw a little girl on the floor, having a seizure. No one else seemed to know what to do, so Christine Vitiello got down on the floor, and gave her CPR until the nurse and the ambulance personnel got there. Mrs. Vitiello has no medical training, but to me, she is the one who saved this little girl's life. Just one of those "little" things that goes unreported and unacknowledged in daily lives. (Her address is: 197 Hayes Dr., Saddle Brook, NJ 07663)

Mrs. Campbell at Hawthorne School is an awesome teacher who helped my granddaughter so much during their family struggles and gave her the incentive to want to learn.

Mrs. Cvengros is a great multitasker and kept all the first graders engaged in learning when she was my child's teacher last year. She has such good energy and is upbeat and positive.

My college sociology prof was so fabulous that I talked to her after class and was inspired to choose social work as my major. I was blessed to have many classes with her.

Ms. Beaullieu inspired my daughter at a very early age. She was sweet and a very thoughtful person, and I believe her temperament went a long way towards the person my daughter is today.

My son started kindergarten this year. It was clear from the start he was struggling with a learning disability. His teacher was able to give him the tools he needed to succeed. He has now blossomed due to her patience, passion and perseverance! Her name is Mrs. Ruiz.
