What Is Teacher Appreciation Day?
National Teacher Appreciation Day falls each year on the first Tuesday in the first full week of May. We set this day aside specifically to show our appreciation to all the hardworking teachers in this country. Since all of them play such a crucial role in our kids’ lives, the least we can do is display a little gratitude.
How to Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day
With Teacher Appreciation Day falling on a Tuesday, it’s likely your kids have to go to school. This offers a great opportunity to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day. You might send your kid to class with teacher appreciation cards and thank you cards for all their instructors. A personalized note from student and parent can go a long way as well. You might even get other parents from your child’s class involved and let them help you brainstorm ways to show your gratitude.
Teacher Appreciation Day Gifts
Teacher appreciation cards are a great gift for Teacher Appreciation Day. You can have your child decorate and write in the card themselves to give the gift a personal touch that will make it truly special.
But you don’t need to stop at teacher appreciation cards. If you bake, you might send your kid to school with some baked goods for teacher and class alike. You could also send gifts like gift cards, flowers, and chocolates.
If you want to really go the extra mile, many schools need volunteers for certain things. Taking a volunteer shift could really help that stressed out, overworked teacher in your life.
