I can’t believe it is already May, and the end of the school year is right around the corner. And, if you have school age children, you have inevitably heard that Teacher Appreciation Week is next week! The week of May 6-10th is set aside for families to tell their child’s teacher thank you for all the time, love, and energy they have poured into their little ones this year. In full discloser, as a teacher, it is always a week where I feel blessed for the work I do, and who doesn’t like to feel appreciated?
I’m so excited to share my Teacher Gifts Guide below, featuring gifts for your child’s teacher that he or she will really appreciate. The guide features gifts at every price point; and better yet, most of the gifts are available on Amazon, just in case the week snuck up on you.
- Letterboard: A letterboard is a fun way for teachers to get a message across.
- Amazon Gift Card: Let your teachers pick out their own gifts. (I always like it when I get a gift card.)
- Amazon Echo Dot: The perfect little classroom helper.
- Volcano Candle: Candles are the perfect way for a teacher to relax at home.
- Sharpie Pens: These pens are my favorite for writing notes and grading papers.
- Yeti Ramblers: These ramblers keep water cold and add a fun bit of color to one’s desk.
- Fun Socks: I always wear fun socks on casual Fridays, and these socks do not disappoint.
- Tote Bag: Just the right size to keep books, lesson plans, and papers all in one place for traveling from class to class, or from work to home.
- Tabletop Planter: For teachers with a green thumb to add a little “life” and color to their desk.
- Weekly Planning Pad: This planning pad is perfect for keeping your teacher’s to-do list all in one place, plus it doubles as a mouse pad.
Lastly, I feel it is important to say that, as a teacher, I never expect a gift; and I feel that is what most of my collogues would say as well. Being a teacher is the career we chose because we truly love learning and educating children. Personally, a gift from a student’s family is a kind gesture, but a handwritten note of thanks and gratitude is something I treasure forever. So, if a gift is not something you can do, have your child draw a picture for their teacher, and you can write a thank you letter to accompany it.
