5 Days and Ways to Appreciate Your Kids’ Teachers

Teacher Appreciation Week begins Monday, May 3 and man, have they earned it! This year more than ever, we owe our teachers a huge debt of gratitude. Luckily, the teachers on OUR team have just the ways to let the teachers on YOUR team know you how much you appreciate all they’re doing to keep your kids on track. Whether you’re back at school, online, or hybrid, these no-cost and low-cost tokens of gratitude will go a long way to making teachers feel appreciated.MondayYour child has blossomed this year and they can show their thanks with a flower! Pick something simple from your own garden and wrap the stems in a wet paper towel, then tin foil, then a baggie for simple but sweet gift. Not back to school yet? Your kiddo can draw or paint a beautiful bouquet or craft one out of Playfoam® or Playfoam® Pluffle™ and email a photo to their teacher.TuesdaySpread the word about your child’s teacher – online! Ask the other parents in your child’s class to help you create a #YourTeacher’sNameBestTeacherEver viral campaign. Parents can write a post about what their kids love most about their teacher or a special memory they have together—or post a video of their kids sharing the same—and tag their posts with the hashtag. Then you can let your teacher know she’s trending!WednesdaySurprise your teacher with a personalized poem! Practice with your child, then have them recite (in-person before class or via video) what they’ve learned. Something simple like, “Roses are red, violets are blue, Ms. Teacher’s Name, I love you!” works for younger kids – older kids might get a kick out of learning something longer like A.A. Milne’s When I Was One.ThursdayYour child’s teacher treats them with respect – return the favor with your teacher’s favorite treat! A simple wrapped snack with a ribbon goes a long way to making a teacher’s day (think chocolate bars, mints, cookies, and more). Online learners can drop their gift in the office or email a $5 Starbucks card straight to their teacher’s inbox.FridayThank you notes are still the gold standard, especially if your child has just learned to write this year! Encourage your kiddo to share specifics about what they love about their teacher and be sure to include a drawing or painting of them together.You can also show your appreciation by entering to win a $500 EducationalInsights.com gift card for YOUR teacher today!
