Ideas for Teacher Appreciation Day

By: Karen Brown

National Teacher Appreciation Day is Tuesday, May 3. Here are some suggestions for showering your children’s teachers with love and appreciation for their devotion to our kids.

1. Consider the gift of a book to include in the classroom library. Write a brief note inside the front cover before wrapping.

2. How about flowers? This is a great way to attach a card, or even a gift card to an inexpensive makeshift re-purposed vase. Instead of a hairpin, a clothespin works well too. Click here for the full tutorial and gorgeous pictures!

3. Remember this post? You can print this banner and hang it in their classroom, or even send it in a 9x12 envelope to school that day all ready to be hung. 

4. How about a donation in their name to a charity they might appreciate; something they are passionate about?

5. Take orders the night before, and deliver teachers their favorite coffee splurges the next morning.

6. How about a date night gift? Maybe a Blockbuster gift card, some microwave popcorn and candy all packaged up in a big popcorn bowl?

7. And one last bunting to hang in their class or tie up with a bow. You can download the ABC template here.
