WFMW: Teacher Appreciation

2, 4, 6, 8
Who do we appreciate?
Teachers! Teachers!!


Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Your child's teacher will feel so appreciated if you remember him or her in a special way.


I usually treat my boys' teachers (and assistants) to a special homemade treat. They tell me what to bake and I bake it and deliver it.

This year I am also helping the PTO at A and D's school come up with some ideas to brighten each day. For instance we might give out little snack bags of chips with a note attached that reads, "You're all that and a bag of chips." Another idea might be to wrap up a can of soup with a note that says, "Thanks for being soup-er!"

The teachers will also enjoy one breakfast and one lunch, courtesy of the PTO. Plus we'll have giveaways. I'd also like to see us put out a banner in the cafeteria so the kids can do a little teacher appreciation graffiti.

Any teacher would love a note of heart-felt appreciation.


Thanking a teacher works for me. Find out what works for other bloggers over at Shannon's blog, Rocks in My Dryer!

I love the "all that and a bag of chips" idea! I'll have to remember that for the next time I need something small but amusing.

As a teacher, I love it! :) I am totally stealing the "all that and a bag of chips idea." Too clever!

Another teacher, loving your idea! (crazy how Angie and I both clicked on this WFMW since we teach across the hall from each other!)
I personally love the notes of appreciation, and keep a little envelope in my drawer of them.
