Teacher Appreciation

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up at the beginning of May (May 4-8th).  It’s a wonderful time to express gratuitude to your kids’ teachers for all of the time and energy they put into preparing and teaching.   Some of my favorite gifts as a teacher were book store gift cards (to stock up on books for the classroom), thank you notes from the student, or dinner gift certificates for a relaxing Friday night.

There are many websites that have collected great ideas for thoughtful gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week.  Here are a few of the best ones:

Volunteer Spot–this one even includes a PDF of the greatest teacher gifts divided into season and category!

Tip Junkie has compiled lots of ideas for personalized teacher gifts

Teachers’ Tips gives a list of unique gifts for teachers

I’d love to see any other ideas that you may have or gifts you have given in the past!!
