Teacher Appreciation Ideas for Elementary-School Students
by FamilyEducation Staff
Give your kids these four great ideas to celebrate their teachers.
1. Make a Bouquet of Thanks
Your child can color and cut flowers out of paper, then write a word of thanks on each flower. Help him come up with words that compliment and best describe his teacher. Remind him of words that will make his teacher feel good, like:
Thank you so much!You're great!You taught me a lot!You make school fun!I'm glad you're my teacher! 2. Give a Report Card
Your child can make her teacher a thank-you card that looks like a report card. Include areas for "grading" such as:
Makes Class FunHelps Me Learn a LotSmiles Every Day Grade teachers with the same phrases they use:Super!Great Job!Hard Worker! 3. Do Five Nice Things
Your children can pledge to do five things, one each day, during Teacher Appreciation Week. Help them choose realistic activities, like:
Help my teacher put away supplies.Clean out a classroom closet.Draw a special picture.
